About Us

OUR HISTORY

The J&L Paris project was born in the United States when we met each other at New York University. Sharing a unique experience, we discovered we had one thing in common : a taste for Art, discovery and encounters.

This is how, 4 years later and back in Paris, we have decided to set up our own Agency and share our lifestyle, our Paris.

“After studying art history, traveling extensively and meeting many interesting people, all I wanted to do was to combine all of it and make it my profession. What other job allows you to travel – both historically and geographically – and to constantly explore, meet and share? Even if today I’ve diversified my work and turned myself toward travel organization, guiding will always be my true vocation and my first love!”

IN FEW WORDS :

“Guiding is a passion, a childhood dream come true! Today I am still keen on informations, juicy details, weird or funny anecdotes, and I have the chance to share it to curious minds. After studying Art History and obtaining the capacity to read and understand Art with a capital A, having the joy to share my knowledge is an every day pleasure. Afterward, as the adage says : « choose a job you like and you will never feel working any day of your life! »”

IN FEW WORDS :

“Guiding is a less known job and yet way more than expected! It is a lifestyle, a passion, a mix of Art, History and meetings or encounters. After 8 years of Art History, and a year in New York City, it has become obvious to me I wanted to share through my work. I guide to offer a special out of time and enjoyable moment for your holidays, weekend or just during a colleagues outing. Thanks to guided tours you can escape from your daily life and as Montaigne said « there isn’t more natural desire than the desire of knowledge », so why go without ?”
