A Surrealist Masterpiece: The Palais Idéal in Hauterives

I visited the Palais Idéal, a unique structure in the small town of Hauterives. Created by Ferdinand Cheval, a postman turned artist, the palace's exterior is covered in intricate sculptures and intricate designs. The interior is just as fascinating, with twisting corridors and unexpected passageways. Cheval spent 33 years constructing this masterpiece from stones he collected on his mail route. The Palais Idéal is a celebration of individual creativity and imagination, and a must-see for anyone fascinated by surrealism.
