ceiling moldings, exposed beams, their chic, typically Parisian apartment

It’s on the set of the film In the eyes of the world by Éric Rochant in 1991 that Charlotte Gainsbourg and Yvan Attal met for the first time. The actor was immediately charmed by the daughter of Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin. “We saw each other for the first time during a rehearsal for In the eyes of the world, by Éric Rochant, where she played my lover. She arrived in the office of the production house, we exchanged courtesies. It was difficult to get three words out of him at the time.” he told Psychologies Magazine in 2013 before launching without tongue in cheek: “We met at a mutual friend’s house. Or rather a friend of hers, with whom I wanted to be friends because I wanted to make her friend! And that’s where it all started.”

At that time, the actress had just lost her father, who died of a heart attack on March 2, 1991 when she was only 19 years old. Yvan Attal, who is six years older, was a great support. “It was Yvan Attal who picked me up. I met him again a month after my father died. And I remember, I cried all the time. I was a wreck… And then I fell in love”, she confided on France Inter in 2021. Since then, the two actors have never let go of each other even if they never got married. They had three children together: Ben born in 1997, Alice born in 2002 and Jo born in 2011. The family lives in a particularly chic Parisian apartment.

The typically Parisian apartment of Charlotte Gainsbourg and Yvan Attal

Charlotte Gainsbourg has always lived in Paris. She was born on rue Verneuil in the 7th arrondissement of Paris in Serge Gainsbourg’s apartment which is now open to the public. His mother, Jane Birkin, who died in July 2023 at the age of 76, had a house on rue de la Tour in the 16th arrondissement of the capital. The singer and actress has lived for many years nowt rue du Bac in the 7th arrondissement, not far from his father’s old place in a very chic neighborhood.

The particularly large apartment is typically Parisian since it has moldings on the ceiling, a beautiful parquet floor and exposed beams.. It was designed by the famous architect Erwan Gayet, the brother of actress Julie Gayet. “Charlotte knew exactly what she wanted”, the site manager told Paris Match. In this very chic place located on the left bank, we also find the artistic soul of the couple. Indeed, several musical instruments are highlighted, including a beautiful piano and several guitars. It is decorated in a very colorful bohemian style with wooden furniture, mustard yellow armchairs and very large rugs. The dominant color being blue. It was in this environment that the couple’s three children were raised.

Many personalities invited to Charlotte Gainsbourg and Yvan Attal

Charlotte Gainsbourg’s family has gotten into the habit of meeting at the couple’s home. Indeed, before leaving us, Jane Birkin used to go to her daughter and her partner. Today it is still Lou Doillon, Charlotte Gainsbourg’s half-sister who visits her with her son Marlowe aged just over a year. Her other sister Kate Barry also goes to her house with her son Roman as well as her brother Lulu Gainsbourg.

It seems that this apartment is the reunion place of Charlotte Gainsbourg’s family. “I have few friends. Family is what matters most to me. There is nothing like that”she confided in Paris Match in 2014. However, the Gainsbourg-Attal couple has several close friends whom they would have already received at their home like the actors Alain Chabat, Vincent Lindon and Clovis Cornillac.
