The J&L Paris project was born in the United States when we met at New York University<\/strong>. Sharing a unique experience, we discovered a common point: a taste for meeting and sharing, a taste for adventure and discovery.<\/p>\n

So 4 years later and back in Paris<\/strong>, it seemed obvious to us to set up our agency in order to make our passion for culture and our art of living known to people who, like us, love to discover cities around the world.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/www.jl-paris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/jl-paris-about-us-jessica-terrier.jpeg” image_size=”full” title=”Jessica Terrier, co-founder of J&L Paris” desc=”Guide-conf\u00e9rencier and expert in cultural goods and objects of Art” caption_location=”outside-image” align=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/www.jl-paris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/jl-paris-about-us-lise-delacour.jpg” image_size=”full” title=”Lise Delacour, co-founder of J&L Paris” desc=”Manager” caption_location=”outside-image” align=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”45px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][mk_page_section bg_color=”#e7ad9c” min_height=”” js_vertical_centered=”true” padding_top=”30″ padding_bottom=”30″ section_id=”william” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][mk_fancy_title color=”#ffffff” size=”22″ font_weight=”300″ letter_spacing=”2″ margin_bottom=”0″ font_family=”none” align=”center”]FOCUS OF THE WEEK: ANGELINE ![\/mk_fancy_title][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][vc_row fullwidth=”true” fullwidth_content=”false”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1742247728908{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n

A QUICK NOTE:<\/strong><\/h4>\n


\n“Guiding is a passion, a childhood dream come true! Today, still hungry for information, juicy details, awful or amusing anecdotes, I have the chance to pass them on to curious minds. <\/span>
\n<\/i><\/p>\n


\nAfter studying Art History, and acquiring the keys to reading necessary to understand Art with a capital A, having the joy of sharing my knowledge is a pleasure every day. And as the saying goes: “choose a job you love, and you won’t have to work a day in your life!”<\/span>

A QUICK NOTE<\/strong> :<\/strong><\/h4>\n


\n“Guiding is a little-known profession and yet it is much more than that! A way of life, a passion, is a mix of art, history and encounters. <\/span>
\n<\/i><\/p>\n


\nAfter 8 years of Art History and a year in New York, it became clear to me that I wanted to do a job of sharing. I guide to offer a timeless and pleasant moment whether you are on vacation, on a weekend or on an outing with colleagues. Guided tours allow you to escape from everyday life and as Montaigne said, “There is no desire more natural than the desire for knowledge”, so why deprive yourself of it?!”<\/span>
