[EN] The Kiosque à musique, in the heart of the park of pines, was inaugurated in 1924, during the Roaring Twenties, when many musical formations took place during the summer season.

Since August 31, 2001, it is named after Serge Gainsbourg, singer-songwriter, who began his career at the "Club de la Forêt" piano bar, renamed today "Flavio", located Avenue du Verger. For the anecdote, it was at Le Touquet-Paris-Plage that he wrote his song: "The Puncher of the Lilacs".
