Book 5 Bis Rue Verneuil - Gainsbourg

“There you go, this is my place. I don’t know what it is: a sitting room, a music room, a brothel, a museum…”

Time has stopped at 5 bis rue de Verneuil. A legendary Parisian place, this is where Serge Gainsbourg lived for more than twenty years. He composed his most sublime songs there and shaped, over the years, a unique aesthetic universe populated by thousands of objects and memories. Once past the famous facade covered in graffiti, and through the gate, you enter the large living room, all upholstered in black.

This is when the discovery of this fascinating place begins. The work of a decorator, collector and aesthete, Serge Gainsbourg's private mansion was also a place of life, the lair of one of the most important creators of the last century."
