For the first time, Bambou is releasing an autobiographical book entitled *Pas à pas dans la nuit* (Ed. Xo). The one who was
the last companion by Serge Gainsbourg confides without taboo about the sufferings of his childhood, about his meeting with the man who was nicknamed the man with the head of cabbage or even about drugs, which marked his youth.
The ex-model, now aged 65, also looks back on motherhood and the arrival of her son, Lulu, in 1986. A birth which put an end to years of opium and heroin consumption.
Serge Gainsbourg: this “cozy” house that the singer bought for Bambou
In the columns of Paris MatchBambou gives himself up with an open heart. She reveals that she has not rebuilt her life. “I tried, I did a few attempts
, but I knew it wouldn't work and That didn't work. It is difficile to arrive after Serge”she told our colleagues.
In a relationship with Serge Gainsbourg from 1980 to 1991, Bambou never lived with the interpreter of The Javanese who preferred to maintain their independence. It is therefore in a house almost similar to that of the singer that the young mixed race woman settled in from the start of their relationship. A property purchased by Jane Birkin's ex-companion.
“It's the exact copy, mahogany and black, but more cozy and small. A small two-story house with balconies, stairs and a small courtyard. Serge said it was his country house. We saw each other every day, but we were constantly in transit. I still live there”explained Bambou, usually secretive about her private life.
Serge Gainsbourg: the house on rue de Verneuil has become a museum
If she raised her son Lulu in this charming little home, Bambou regularly came to Serge Gainsbourg's house, located rue de Verneuil in 7th
district of Paris. An address that became a museum under the leadership of the artist's daughter, Charlotte Gainsbourg.
“It was important for Charlotte, because she was dragging tons behind her.
I'm there I went three times. We have the impression that Serge will appear. After his death, we returned there a few times with Lulu because he wanted to go and sleep there“she said with emotion. Opened in September 2023, Serge Gainsbourg's house contains treasures of memories. With its bar and its instruments, the place has not changed much since the artist's death 35 years ago.
