Hi all, just have a look at that strange thing : he was alone to built it, and
right now, some of the buildings aren't really understand.
Some architects here say it's against gravity laws ... and he was alone to built it !
For those interested, you have to google " facteur cheval ", there are so much
sites i'm not able to drive you to to the one offering real study, but i'm sure you
can find one !

QuoteFerdinand Cheval (born 1836 in Charmes-sur-l'Herbasse, Drôme, France; died 19 August 1924) was a French postman who spent thirty-three years of his life building Le Palais idéal (the "Ideal Palace") in Hauterives.[1][2][3] The Palace is regarded as an extraordinary example of naïve art architecture.
