    Funny thing, was just reading about this the other week. Levi-Strauss mentions this on the first chapter of The Savage Mind.

    the name translates to "Ideal palace of ‘Facteur Cheval’" (Facteur Cheval is a nickname for Ferdinand Cheval)

    This looks like something out of Narnia.

    I can’t believe I never thought about posting it here, I live 30km from there

    There is a stunning movie about it: "The ideal Palace". Already on DVD, came out in 2019 if my memory is correct. Worth whatever price it’ll cost you to watch.
