A French mailman named Ferdinand Cheval spent 33 years building the “Palais Ideal” between the years of 1879 and 1912. He used only cement and rocks that he collected on his mail route and the finished building is now a tourist monument in France.

This palace was hand built by postman Ferdinand Cheval. It took him 33 years to build and he calls it Palais ideal. It is a great reminder that a person can do anything with sufficient passion, effort, and time.
