BOOK - Gainsbourg, 5 bis rue de Verneuil

"There, this is my home. I don't know what it is: a sitting room, a music room, a brothel, a museum ... " Time has stood still at 5 bis rue de Verneuil. A mythical Parisian place, this is where Serge Gainsbourg lived for more than twenty years. He composed his most sublime songs there and, over the years, shaped a unique aesthetic universe populated by thousands of objects and memories. Once past the famous facade covered with graffiti, and through the gate, you enter the large living room all lined in black. This is when the discovery of this fascinating place begins. The work of a decorator, collector and esthete, Serge Gainsbourg’s mansion was also a place of life, the haunt of one of the most important designers of the last century.
