Israel Gaston Monteux (1853-1927) | children = | website = }} Jacques Guérin (23 June 1902 - 6 August 2000) was a French industrialist. For many years he successfully headed up the D'Orsay Parfumerie business after inheriting it in 1936 from his mother, Jeanne Louise Guérin. Beyond the world of commerce Jacques Guérin collected books and manuscripts. One reviewer, paraphrasing the sentiments of several commentators, has described him as "not just a collector but a rescuer of all things Proustian". Provided by Wikipedia
