Serge Gainsbourg's old house becomes a shrine to his memory after his death.

In these dark times, we all need to express the joy of living in Paris in our personal ways. Life goes on. We keep walking, loving and dreaming around our beautiful Paris. The City of Lights can never be extinguished. 

Serge Gainsbourg's house is so special and embodies a lot of different beliefs. He was known for his provocative and scandalous attitude. Since his death in 1991, he has gained a cult following everything that he embodied: freedom of speech, liberty and humor. 

Rue De Verneuil is located in the 7th Arrondissement, bring your phone and possibly a camera because you will want to immortalize the moment. The wall has the possibility for people to tag, express, write anything they want for years and years. This Parisian house remains a celebrated shrine, with its various items. On the outside you will see photographs of significant figures in Gainsbourg's life such as Bardot and Birkin. 

A must see that will change your ideas and bring back the spirit of the Paris we love, a place of enlightenment and love.
