Iceland, a notebook, a slow and drawn adventure
L’aventure sur place est terminée…mais vous pouvez être prévenu par e-mail lors de la sortie du livre !
Le livre arrive — soyez-en
Après les fjords, les tempêtes et les renards, vient l’étape la plus redoutable : le bureau. Gabrielle s’attaque à la mise en page, aux dernières illustrations et à la correction des textes. Le livre devrait être prêt pour la fin de l’été ou le début de l’automne 2026 — météo éditoriale favorable, pour une fois. Pour ne pas rater la sortie, laissez-nous votre adresse e-mail à droite : on vous écrira le grand jour venu, et pas avant.

Quelques nouvelles d’Inkavik
Ces dernières semaines, le silence s’est un peu installé par ici. Non pas par manque de matière, bien au contraire, mais simplement parce que nous avons été pleinement absorbés par la suite du projet. Le voyage Inkavik ne s’est pas arrêté avec le retour. Il se...
💙 Merci. Takk. Merci encore.
Après des semaines sur la route, dans la boue, le vent, la lumière et parfois le silence, on prend enfin le temps de dire merci. Merci à toutes celles et ceux qui ont cru au projet Inkavik, qui nous ont soutenus sur Ulule, suivi le voyage, partagé les posts, encouragé...
🦊 Les voleurs du Hornstrandir
(ou comment le renard arctique a perfectionné l’art du cambriolage en milieu isolé) Il est minuscule, incroyablement rusé, et totalement dépourvu de respect pour la propriété privée. Voici le renard arctique du Hornstrandir, petit fantôme du nord islandais, capable de...
🎨 Exhibition – Gabrielle Cornuault at Café Kymem in Vevey ☕
Until November 30, 2025, Café Kymem in Vevey is hosting the works of Gabrielle Cornuault. Here, you can discover her intricately patterned black and white friezes, her luminous watercolors, as well as two previously unseen originals, presented as a preview and taken from her...
📆 September 18 — After Iceland, another adventure begins
A little over two weeks after our return, the Icelandic dust has settled—and with it, the pace is slowly returning to a more “normal” pace. Gabrielle is back in France, surrounded by piles of notebooks, sheets of paper, and colorful sketches. She sorts,...
📅 09/07/2025 – Home Sweet Home
📍 ///home.sweet.home We empty Jimny. We remove the boxes, we tidy, we sort. The papers, the souvenirs, the objects that have accumulated week after week. We finally find that damn thing we've been looking for everywhere, and we finally mourn this...
📅 28.08.2025 – The sea as the last Icelandic chapter
📍 ///eeriness.dispensed.elders The ferry casts off, and we're off: Jimny and I are on board. Apart from the belt, which started whistling again this morning, nothing to report. The brakes work well, and most importantly, they release properly when...
📆 08/28/2025 – Mafalda in Icelandic
📍///architect.salvaged.nannies You couldn't make this up. Departure by ferry. Cut off from the digital "world" for at least 48 hours.
📅 08/27/2025 – Crossed lines in Iceland
📍 ///chez.petur.marietta Sometimes chance has a very special way of reaching out to us. While paying the garage bill, the accountant lets me in, almost as if it were a secret, that a German painter lives just a stone's throw away, having lived in Iceland for decades...
📅 08/27/2025 – The Damocles Nut
📍 ///successfully.clerics.mountains The night was great, despite the various things on our minds. First of all: will we be able to reach Seydisfjördur and catch the ferry? Without that, it's like dominoes... nothing goes right, everything goes wrong. And we don't dare...
📅 08/26/2025 – The Tire Iron’s Serenade
📍Between despair and depression, not far from Safébocou-sur-nerfs Warm, in a room without wind or rain, in a dry bed... without a single sound, a deafening silence. The day started off rather badly. A bit like the second part of yesterday's evening...
📅 08/25/2025 – Improvised waiting room
📍 ///surreal.plastering.hesitating Here we are, cozy in a café in Höfn, waiting for the specialist. A diagnosis, some treatment, and perhaps the promise to continue the journey. For the past few days, a feeling of unease has been setting in. Without complaining, we gritted our teeth,...
📅 24.08.2025 – South Iceland
📍///eats.snowballs.entwine Unsurprisingly, waking up to the rain. But not for long: I took advantage of a lull to fold up the soaked tent before it started again. Always that fine line between folding up a wet but dry tent, or waiting...

📅 08/24/2025 – Travel Reflections
📍 ///hyping.unloads.ledges A quick clarification following my visit to Geysir and Gullfoss. When I use the word "Disneyland," it's not a criticism of how anyone chooses to travel. Tourism is vital to Iceland—in fact, after fishing, it's one of...
📅 08.23.2025 – Bláhnúkur and departure from Landmannalaugar
📍 ///enclosures.denture.bathwater The night was incredibly clear: a sky studded with stars, with no light pollution for miles around. If I'd had a little more energy, I could have enjoyed it more. In any case, it heralded a...
📅 08.22.2025 – On the way to Landmannalaugar
📍 ///mattresses.scrubbers.ditty Once the tent is folded – not without difficulty because of the rain, wind, and cold – we set off in search of water and, above all, gasoline, the real lifeblood of these lands. Then, as Iceland obliges, we stop at Geysir, the famous geyser...
📅 08/21/2025 – Reykjavik, the Bay of Smoke
📍 ///offshoot.biodiversity.commented After several weeks in the fjords and remotest corners of Iceland, a radical change of scenery awaits: here we are in Reykjavik, the world's northernmost capital. Founded in 874 by Ingólfur Arnarson, a chieftain...
