Le Palais Idéal du Facteur Cheval, Hauterives, France

A pebble palace discovered thanks to the artist Michael Dumontier/stopping off place:

"Ferdinand Cheval (Facteur Cheval 1836-1924)was a French mail carrier who spent thirty-three years of his life building Le Palais Idéal, Hauterives, France.'

"What thou seeest, passerby,

Is the work of a peasant ...

Who, lacking master, or help,

With despicable pebbles,

Patiently built

This marvelous palace."
