The ViaRhôna is a truly beautiful trail and between May and June, it is not too busy, which makes it a peaceful place.

April 1879. Ferdinand Cheval, then a 43-year-old rural postman, stumbled upon a stone so bizarre during his rounds that it sparked a dream. A true autodidact, he dedicated 33 years of his life to building a dream palace in his vegetable garden, inspired by nature, postcards, and the first illustrated magazines he distributed. For his rounds in the countryside, he traveled about 30 kilometers each day, collecting stones with the help of his trusty wheelbarrow. Alone, misunderstood, he inscribed "the work of a man" on his monument. His dream palace was completed in 1912.

Unique in the world, the Palais Idéal has inspired artists for over a century. Independent of any artistic movement, built without any architectural rules, the Palais Idéal was admired by the Surrealists. In 1969, it was classified as a Historic Monument by André Malraux, then Minister of Culture, as a work of naive art.

An incredible tourist magnet in Hauterives. Large parking spaces on site and €9 entry. The small castle is something special that you don't see every day. A postman built it from stones and shells that he discovered on his errands around 1870 and worked on it for over 30 years. There is even a small museum and a brochure for mobile phones in German. 👍🏰🤳
