バテルネのおすすめツーリングルート

I have seen it several times and it is truly a unique monument 🙂

Unique in the world, the Palais Idéal has inspired artists for over a century. Independent of any artistic movement, built without any architectural rules, the Palais Idéal was admired by the Surrealists. In 1969, it was classified as a Historic Monument by André Malraux, then Minister of Culture, as a work of naive art.

Very beautiful cloister with sculptures of musicians

On the heights of Charmes-sur-l'Herbasse, this castle is also nice to visit. It gives a beautiful view of Lake Champos and the surrounding hills. Also accessible on foot or by car via a small winding road.

Lake Champos is an ideal place during the summer season for swimming. Here you will find supervised swimming, something to have a drink at the water's edge and water activities such as pedal boats, paddles and slides. Very popular with the inhabitants of the region, the attendance can be important during the weekends of July-August.

This place is the story of a postman, Joseph Ferdinand Cheval, who in 1873 and for the following 33 years, built a dream palace in his vegetable garden.
