Nested in the valley of the river Jordanne, the plots are incredibly numerous, exuberant of colours, little streams, of course of vegetables and fruits, secret passages and little cabins, it is always a delight to be in contact with the fruitful soil in such a place.

From this quiet and beautiful high place you can see an amazing view on the city and its surroundings : the bell tower of the church of Saint Géraud, the tile roofs of the old houses, the hills...

The discoveries are often very interesting in this huge ancient stable built in the 19th century and transformed into a place for exhibitions of contemporary art.

Aurillac / Shop

Every time I need inspiration for a present for friends or family, I go to this store and inevitably discover something intriguing, exciting and unique. Books, clothes, luxurious old fabrics, bizarre little objects, and a lovely owner whose passion for antiques is communicative.

Aurillac / Restaurant

I love this tiny but refined restaurant. The cook and owner is generous and passionate, he likes to spend some time within the tables and share some truculent tales with the clients. The products are mainly from the local area and the wine cellar is excellent.

Hamburg / Painter

Inga Wilkens (b. 1987) is a painter living and working between Hamburg, Berlin and Munich, Germany. Originally from a small artist village named Fischerhude in Northern Germany, art was all around her when she grew up. Fascinated from an early age by Impressionism and the aesthetic values of Zen, her intuitive use of color and arresting play with shadow strives for simplicity and lucidity. Her oil and acrylic paintings hover towards abstraction and minimalism, yet breathe the clean air and convey the meditative silence stemming from a deeply felt connection with nature. Her works evoke the earthliness of colors or the proximity of a clear night sky, a sense of freedom one only finds in the essence of things. Inga does not so much pre-compose her paintings; she rather creates them intuitively, as spontaneous reactions to the present moment. Her practice values process and embraces the chaotic, yet always maintains a compositional centeredness that never makes her works feel out of balance.
