Tours for fans are now available of the house where the musician and poet lived for three decades
Outside Serge Gainsbourg’s former home on a narrow street in Paris’s most expensive arrondissement, fans are lined up like pilgrims at a shrine, their wrists ink-stamped with the outline of their idol’s profile, now his posthumous trademark.
They are the lucky ones. Long before the house – shut up for more than three decades since the singer-songwriter died – was opened to the public 11 days ago, the 30-minute tour slots had sold out until next year.
