The French super-nic attraction you definitely don't know: Postman-Val's stone castle (Palais Ideal du facteur Cheval) The most surprising and unexpected attraction of the French trip is a very, very niche place, maybe you haven't heard of it. This attraction is located in the village of Hautereives, north of Drome, France, an unknown town on my drive from the Loire Valley to Provence. Today the town attracts tourists from all over the world because of a World Heritage Site. Postman - Waller's stone castle (Palais Ideal du facteur Cheval) - also known as the "Ideal Palace of Shawa" and "The Ideal Palace of Postman - Waller". In 1969, it was approved as a cultural heritage. This temple is a postman named Nguyen Val Ferdinand Cheval, he hikes between the countryside every day, one day he tripped by a stone on the rugged mountain road, after which he had an idea to build a palace with stones, so every day after that, It took 33 years (1879-1912) to build this unique stone castle with natural materials he collected on his way back and forth in the countryside. On the stone of the castle, many marks of the year were still visible, and one sentence was carved on a stone at the entrance: "I wonder how far a wishful stone can go", it is said, that this is the stone that tripped over the year. The stone castle contains both Islamic mosques and Hindu shrines, Adam and Eve, and Jesus Christ, all kinds of animal and plant connections. The ideal palace can also be reached inside, dotted with shell-line feet, hanging lights, and fantastic sculptures like dreams. The palace has three stairs leading to the terrace, which is the best viewing spot to admire the heights of the building, where you can see sharks, birds, turrets. If we hadn't witnessed it, we really didn't believe in the creative power of the "madman". The bag also found the shadow of Gaudi Sagrada Familia during the visit, which was so wonderful that the two "crazy" buildings were so similar. I have always admired this super strong willpower, insisting on being my own people, although the people are small, but willpower can bring unlimited power to people. May this note be dedicated to all people with dreams. [Attraction information] Address: 8 Rue du Palais, 26390 Hauterives, French Open hours: January and December every day 9:30-12:30, 13:30-16:30; 2, March and October, November every day 9:30-12:30, 13:30-17:30; 4-6 every day in September 9:30-12:30, 13:30-18:30; 7-8 every day 9:30-12:30, 13:30-19:00; December 25, January 1, January 15-January 31 closed. [Hamburger bag exclusive tips] 1. Pay attention to the opening hours of the attractions, the play time is about 1, 2 hours. 2. It is recommended to drive by car here, there is a parking lot nearby. 3. There is also an exhibition hall inside the ideal palace, with a model of the ideal palace and an introduction to the life of the postman and the process of building the ideal palace, as well as some related pictures, so that visitors can learn more about the ideal palace and the postman. 4. If you want to take a full shot of the entire ideal palace, it is recommended to bring a wide-angle lens. More European Raiders, remember to pay attention to me!
