“I am overwhelmed by their genius.” Charlotte Gainsbourg evokes the difficult legacy of her parents.

The public will soon discover his childhood home, the home of his father, Serge Gainsbourg, at 5 bis rue de Verneuil, 7.^e Paris region. Charlotte Gainsbourg also spoke about Maison Gainsbourg, which is going to open its doors to the singer’s fans, this Wednesday, September 20, on France Inter. A highly symbolic event for the fifty-year-old, whose mother, Jane Birkin, died on July 16. To the questions of Nicola Demoran and Lea Salame, the actress spoke about this disappearance, which she did not expect.

“When the mother dies, the spine collapses”

“It was very strange,” he said. We knew it was going to happen, but not here, we didn’t really expect it. For 15 years, we thought that sometimes he was going to die, but he always got up.” “She was such an amazing force of nature that even her doctors didn’t know what to say, after all, as she recovered from it.” Two months after her mother’s disappearance, the interpreter Deadly Valentine assured that she is not yet ready for life without him.

“I felt my father’s death, it devastated me,” she explained. But the mother’s death is in our body.” And the singer continues. “Obviously, we hear about people who have lost their mothers, and there really is a backbone that is being broken. I don’t have any point of reference anymore.” Charlotte Gainsbourg said she was wondering what to do next with the house and her mother’s belongings. “With Roman (By Kermadec, son of Keith Barry, Editor’s note) and Lu (Doyle, half-sister of Charlotte Gainsbourg, editor’s note), we are a little paralyzed,” he said.

“Overwhelmed by their genius”

The singer also answered the question about being “broken” by her parents’ charisma. But then you have to be able to get rid of mass and weight. It depends on the day.” Before adding. “I was lucky to start so young. At the age of 12, I did not ask myself such a question. The fact that I entered cinema, music, so young… I had not yet put them on a pedestal. I put them on a pedestal when I was a teenager and it got harder for me in my 20s. It took me a while.”

On a lighter note, Charlotte Gainsbourg also confirmed that she will be attending a state banquet at the Palace of Versailles this Wednesday, September 20, as part of an official visit by King Charles III and Queen Camilla. Dinner, which also has a symbolic meaning, because it reminds of parents. “I’m going to a royal dinner tonight,” she enthused. I am invited. I’m wearing a long dress and everything. I thought to myself today. “This is my mum and dad fighting over, do I go to her museum opening or see the King of England?” I chose the King of England.’ A bias that would not displease the most French of English women.
