The Journées du Patrimoine are one of the most eagerly-awaited events on the Parisian calendar, taking place every year in September. Over the course of a weekend, the treasures of Paris and the Île-de-France region are revealed to you through a hyper-vitamin program of visits and events, often free of charge, in museums, monuments, institutions, churches and much more. Places usually closed to the public, including ministries , also open their doors to us during this cultural event, which celebrates its 41st edition this year. There's so much to choose from, in fact, that there's something for everyone.
And for music fans, it's the perfect opportunity to delve into the life and work of a monument to French chanson: Serge Gainsbourg. An iconic figure, this singer with a distinctive personality, who died in 1991, is one of France's best-known international artists. Now, a cultural venue located next to his former Parisian home invites us to discover his legacy: the Maison Gainsbourg and its museum. Discover the special program that awaits you there for the Journées du Patrimoine 2024 in Paris this weekend of September 21 and 22, 2024.
Maison Gainsbourg and its museum in Paris: a plunge into the world of the famous artist
30 minutes of immersion in Serge Gainsbourg's incredible home, where everything has remained unchanged since his death on March 2, 1991. This is the moving and incredible experience that the Maison Gainsbourg has been offering since September 20, 2023. For the occasion, we pushed open the doors of the Maison Gainsbourg. We tell you all about this visit, a real plunge into the singer's intimacy, guided by Charlotte Gainsbourg's voice. [Read more]
To celebrate its first anniversary, the Maison Gainsbourg is pleased to be associated with the European Heritage Days.
After more than 32 years of anticipation, the Maison Gainsbourg has established itself as an essential cultural venue in Paris, dedicated to the transmission of Serge Gainsbourg's work, as soon as it opens in September 2023.
Conceived and led by his daughter Charlotte, Artistic Director of the Maison Gainsbourg, this project offers a plunge into the heart of the artist's creative and personal universe.
For its first participation, the Maison Gainsbourg is offering a free tour on the evening of Saturday September 21 on rue de Verneuil in Paris (7th):
- 5 bis: the historic house in which Serge Gainsbourg lived for 22 years, a legendary interior preserved intact since his death in 1991. The house can be visited via an original soundtrack created by Soundwalk Collective in collaboration with Charlotte Gainsbourg.
- Opposite, at number 14: a museum retracing the artist's life and career through a chronological display of 450 original objects: manuscripts, emblematic works and objects, as well as clothing and jewelry once belonging to the artist, from the Maison Gainsbourg collection. Alongside these showcases, eight screens display a selection of rare and, in some cases, never-before-seen television, photographic, film and radio archives. At the end of the tour, a temporary exhibition is devoted to "Je t'aime... moi non plus", the sultry duet recorded by Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg in 1968.
The tour continues at the Gainsbarre, a café by day and piano bar by night, and ends in the bookshop-boutique. Conceived as a concept store, it features a range of carefully selected collections designed to evoke the artist's rich universe.
The "Maison & Musée" tour is fully booked for the European Heritage Days. Visits are only available to the ticketed public.
Slots are exceptionally available for visits during the month of October 2024. Online bookings: https://www.maisongainsbourg.fr/billetterie
