Le Facteur Cheval's Palais Idéal, Hauterives, France

A view of the full east elevation of Le Facteur Cheval's superb work of art, essentially made over a period of thirty-three years by the self-taught postman Ferdinand Cheval (1836–1924) from stones and pebbles he collected in a wheelbarrow as he went about his postal round. This is only the beginning though as I have a great number of photos to sift through and crop, etc, so there is much more to come later.

ADDENDUM: My blog post is now at Le Facteur Cheval's Palais Idéal, Hauterives
