The history of l'Arche began in a little house in a french village in 1964. Jean Vanier, mentored by Father Thomas Philippe, set up a home with Raphael Simi and Philippe Seux. Forty years later L'Arche is an international organisation, active now in five continents. L'Arche is integrated into vastly differing cultures whilst retaining its own very particular one, identity and values.. L'Arche in Pariswas founded in 1973.
