"The Jane Birkin footbridge -- it's poetic,"
"It could be the bridge that connected her to England and brought her hurrying back to France, her adopted country,"
"So I told him, 'Yes, but today she's becoming a bridge,' -- and it's great to be able to say that."
"Jane Birkin Footbridge (1946-2023) singer, actor, director"
A footbridge spanning the Canal Saint-Martin in Paris's 10th arrondissement was officially named the Jane Birkin Footbridge. Daughters Lou Doillon and Charlotte Gainsbourg and grandson Roman de Kermadec attended the unveiling and helped reveal the new name plate reading Jane Birkin Footbridge (1946-2023) singer, actor, director. Guests recalled Birkin's personality and ties to both England and France, with remarks about poetry and transformation. Birkin moved from London to Paris in the 1960s, recorded the hit duet "Je t'aime... moi non plus" with Serge Gainsbourg, appeared in Michelangelo Antonioni's Blowup and worked with directors including Agnes Varda and Bertrand Tavernier.
