The Ideal Palace of the Postman Cheval or 40 years of persistency, recognised worldwide as a work of art in the "Outsider Art" style (Art Brut) - Hauterives.
Do not miss this monument, built from stones picked up during the postman’s rural mail delivery rounds and representing 33 years of single-handed labour; an absolutely fascinating example of naïve art classified by the Historical Monuments in 1969 by André MALRAUX (French minister of culture at that time).
