A guide to the city of singer, songwriter and actor Serge Gainsbourg, from his birth at L’Hôtel-Dieu de Paris in April 1928, to final resting place at Cimitière du Montparnasse. Along the way, we note residences, bars, studios, nightclubs and many scenes of scandal, debauchery and great art. At the time of his death, in 1991, Gainsbourg was perhaps best known outside France for the songs “Je t’aime... moi non plus” and “Bonnie And Clyde”, and his marriage to Jane Birkin, yet his influence is greater today than at any time, and his home is now a museum. Start your journey in Serge's Repetto shoes with this map and guide.
