Women mattered enormously in the life of George Brassens, whether in his poems or his songs. The singer’s first love, born on October 22, 1921 (he would have celebrated his 102nd birthday in 2023), Jeanne Planche was 30 years older than him when she hosted him at her home in Paris. A surprising menage a trois then lasted for more than twenty years.

In 1939, Georges Brassens arrived in Paris at the age of 19 and moved in with his aunt Antoinette at 173 rue d’Alésia. Requisitioned for the Compulsory Labor Service (STO) in 1943, he was sent to the Basdorf camp near Berlin. After a difficult year, he obtained a fortnight’s leave in Paris. Determined not to return to Germany, he is considered a deserter and decides to take refuge with a friend of his aunt: Jeanne Planche who lives at 9 impasse Florimont in the 14th arrondissement of Paris. “It was a kind of dump. But I was comfortable there and I have since kept a completely exceptional sense of discomfort.” he confided about this place.
Thirty years her senior, Jeanne lives with her husband Marcel and quickly takes a liking to Georges. It was also she who gave him his very first guitar. Although they are friends at first, their relationship quickly takes a romantic turn, Jeanne being charmed by her guest’s dark eyes and by his banter and his prose. A surprising three-way relationship then comes to life in the apartment, Marcel even appearing “to validate” his wife’s infidelity. Very in love Georges Brassent dedicates two songs to Jeanne: Jeanne’s cane as well as The Joan. Her husband Marcel also inspired her to write a piece: Auvergne.
Between two women
At the end of the war in 1947, Georges Brassens fell in love with another woman: Joha Heiman. Free and against marriage, he refuses to marry her and writes the title for her The non-proposal. He nicknamed her Püppchen (“little doll” in German) and formed a very strong relationship with her, so much so that she was buried alongside him in 1999 in Sète.
Despite this love story, Georges Brassens always kept a link with Jeanne and never stopped coming and going from Impasse Florimont. The height of the story, what sounded the death knell for their relationship was jealousy. Georges would not have appreciated that a year after the death of her husband Marcel, Jeanne decided to marry a 36-year-old man in 1966.
