    “A pebble palace discovered thanks to the artist Michael Dumontier/stopping off place: "Ferdinand Cheval (Facteur Cheval 1836-1924)was a French mail carrier who spent thirty-three years of his life building Le Palais Idéal, Hauterives, France.' "What thou seeest, passerby, Is the work of a peasant ... Who, lacking master, or help, With despicable pebbles, Patiently built This marvelous palace."”
