Maison Gainsbourg, Memorial museum in 6th arrondissement, France.
Maison Gainsbourg is the former residence of musician Serge Gainsbourg in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, now operating as a museum. Multiple rooms display personal belongings, photographs, and memorabilia related to his life and career.
Gainsbourg lived in the house from 1969 until 1991, using it as both a private residence and creative workplace. The property was transformed into a public museum following his death and opened to visitors in 2023.
The house displays handwritten materials and personal objects that reveal how Gainsbourg shaped French music through his bold experiments. Visitors can sense his creative choices and the way he worked in this space.
The museum is accessible through guided tours in multiple languages, with advance reservations required through the official website for specific time slots. Plan ahead to secure your preferred visit time.
The entrance gate is covered with inscriptions and drawings left by visitors over time, creating a constantly changing tribute wall. This improvised display has become a tribute in itself to the artist.

The Latin Quarter is one of the oldest parts of Paris and preserves traces from over two thousand years of history. Roman remains like the Arènes de Lutèce recall the ancient settlement of Lutetia, while medieval churches such as Saint-Étienne-du-Mont and Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre document the religious past. The Sorbonne and the Collège de France have made the district a center of learning since the Middle Ages, and institutions like the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève continue this academic tradition. The Musée de l'Histoire de la Médecine traces the development of medicine, the Musée Curie honors the scientific discoveries of Marie and Pierre Curie, and the Musée des Arts du Moyen Âge displays medieval art within the ruins of Roman baths. Narrow streets lead to squares like Place de la Contrescarpe and Place de l'Estrapade, where locals gather in cafés and markets. The Marché de la Rue Mouffetard is one of the city's oldest street markets and offers fresh produce daily. Literary and artistic traces appear at the Maison de Serge Gainsbourg, the historic jazz cellar Le Caveau de la Huchette, and cafés like Le Procope, which has welcomed writers and thinkers since the 17th century. The Jardin des Plantes combines botanical collections with the Musée de Minéralogie, while the Square René-Viviani provides a quiet view of Notre-Dame with its ancient tree. The Grande Mosquée de Paris and the Institut du Monde Arabe add North African and Arab perspectives to the cultural offerings.
