The History of Jour Férié
Jour Férié born from our meeting: Laetitia & Céline. One is an entrepreneur, the other an artistic director and illustrator. Two different backgrounds, two different worlds, but one shared desire: to create a French puzzle brand that is sunny and caring.
We want to promote a slow fairer lifestyle through our brand of eco-friendly puzzles, which are designed with today's well-being and environmental issues in mind. And if a few hundred pieces can help you slow down, then we've achieved our goal!
For us, puzzles were an obvious choice. More than a simple pastime, Jour Férié’s dreamlike puzzles are an invitation to escape into a serene bubble where time seems to slow at last. They are also a beautiful creative space for Céline, who illustrates the delicate poetry of everyday moments.
Laetitia, co-founder
Got a question? Lost a piece? Got a new manufacturing challenge? Laetitia always has the answers!
Her 12 years in luxury packaging enabled her to develop a brand of high-quality, eco-designed puzzles made in France. Sensitized to ecological and social causes, she wants to participate in the creation of a fairer and more responsible business model.
By email, PM, phone or boot chat, all roads lead to Laetitia!
Céline, co-founder
Artistic director, illustrator, and amateur photographer, Céline is the creative force behind the sunny and colorful world of Jour Férié.
After 5 years in a communications agency, she joined forces with Laetitia to bring to life a puzzle brand that reflects her personality. Her love for the little things in everyday life becomes her signature, transforming each illustration into a poetic and vibrant scene.
And because Jour Férié is above all about moments to share, Céline will always be curious to discover your own " Jour férié moment," the one that makes your beautiful puzzle a unique interlude!
Our favorite puzzles:
Foam Party
"The jigsaw puzzle of a happy mess, with 500 little surprises hiding just about everywhere, speaks to me. I've got two kids and there are always unlikely objects in my bathroom. Laetitia
Flowers on the Table
"A bottle of Tabasco, a splash of Maggi... I love these iconic packages that find their way into our kitchens. A few quirky objects, a few flowers… What more could you ask for?" Céline
