During the seven last years of his life, Serge Gainsbourg lived in a house on Paris's Rue Verneuil with his butler, Fulbert Ribeaut, who would become a close friend. Immediately after Gainsbourg's death in 1991, Fulbert's nephew, Yannick Ribeaut, photographed his house extensively. Now, for the very first time, these unique photographs have been published in this book along with some hand-written drafts of Gainsbourg's lyrics as well as a lot of unpublished scribbled notes that the singer wrote to Fulbert. An authentic and moving testimony to one of France's most influential musicians!
