Collegiate Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul

Highlight • Religious Site

Located in the town of Saint-Donat-sur-l'Herbasse, the collegiate church of Saint-Pierre and Saint-Paul dates from 894. A text mentions a church dedicated to Saint Mary or Saint Donat in the Vicus Jovinziacus. Originally Romanesque in style, it has an imposing porch bell tower, the first level of which dates from the 13th century. In 1940, the nave was completely rebuilt. It has been listed as a historical monument since 1906 and has a magnificent cloister.

The Ideal Palace of Postman Cheval

Highlight • Monument

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. He picked up stones during his rounds with his wheelbarrow. Alone, he imagines an ideal palace, where you will find elephants, caimans, pelicans, bears, birds and many other curiosities. This unique place in the world has inspired many artists. Classified in 1969 as a Historic Monument, you can visit this place all year round.
