Julien Dassin lost his famous father, Joe Dassin, when he only had a few months. For years, he lived in the singer’s property, in the Yvelines, but unfortunately he had to part with it …
Julien Dassin was still only a baby when his famous father, Joe Dassin, was swept away by a heart attack in 1980. He unfortunately had to grow with the absence of a father and the memories that left for him. For years, the singer’s son has lived in the house of his late father, at Feucherolles … before he is obliged to part with it.
Julien Dassin and his father’s huge house: “A fire has destroyed almost everything”
Joe Dassin has lived in the last five years of his life in a huge house with unique architecture, at Feucherolles, in the Yvelines. When he died, his sons Jonathan and Julien Dassin inherited it. The latter lived there even when their mother, Christine Delvaux, died in 1995. “I was 15, I was still going to school. My brother left for Tahiti, I stayed alone in this fellow house with a couple of guards and the shadows of the past. A house haunted by memories“remembered Julien Dassin in a recent interview with France Sunday.
Unfortunately, the material memories that remained of the late singer no longer exist. “”A FeuCherolles fire destroyed almost all of his things. I only have the public image: a man in a suit, always impeccable“Explained the one who comes out his book Once upon a timea work he wrote for “Discover the man behind the idol“.
Julien Dassin sold his father’s house: “It was a financial abyss”
Today, Julien Dassin no longer has the property of his father. He had to partially part with it: “The house of Feucherolles, 1000 m2 living space, was a financial chasm. I finally sold it to a supermarket boss“. A sale that also saddened his older brother, Jonathan Dassin.”We sold the house and each bought ours. We were able to regret to have separated, it would have been magnificent to imagine two families in the house, because it would have been possible“He had told Paris Match.
If this house was filled with memories, it was nevertheless not adapted to everyday life. “”She was very bad. A bedroom could be larger than the living room. And above all, it was disproportionate. The sizes were immense. There was a basement, it looked like a supermarket parking lot. And heating something like this is impossible“, had assured Julien Dassin to France Bleu.
