Autun Cathedral 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle | Aparté

📄 Description

This 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle unfolds beneath the towering spire of a golden cathedral, its Gothic arches rising above a quiet, sun-warmed street. A red bicycle leans near a flower-filled shopfront with green shutters, while a man in a striped shirt steps into a colorful boutique with his dog trailing behind. Soft yellow buildings line the road, their balconies dressed with blooming flower boxes, and a leafy tree branch frames the scene from above against a bright blue sky. Paola Hirou's flat, graphic color style gives this historic town a clean, sunny warmth that feels both vintage and inviting. ☀️🌼

🎨 About the Artist

Paola Hirou trained in illustration at the Emile Cohl School in Lyon, where she experimented across painting, sculpture, and digital drawing before settling into her current graphic, streamlined style. She works with a deliberately limited color palette, often in flat digital tones or gouache, drawing inspiration from the places and light around her. That same clean, sun-warmed sensibility shines through here, giving this historic cathedral town a bright, storybook glow.
