In the small village of Hauterives, at the heart of the Drôme hills, one monument has been talked about around the world for over a century. It is here, within a lush garden, that Ferdinand Cheval, known as the Postman Cheval due to his job, built one of the most incredible works of art ever. This masterpiece of outsider art, built by just one man, was listed as a Historic Monument in 1969 by André Malraux as part of the naïve art movement. Even today, the Postman Cheval's Ideal Palace, which is admired by Surrealists like André Breton and Max Ernst, continues to inspire many artists.
Ferdinand Cheval began to build his palace in 1879 using stones he gathered on his rounds. He mainly found inspiration in books he read, nature and the postcards he delivered. The building has carvings of various monuments, mythological figures and animals of the world. Hindu temple, Egyptian tomb, medieval castle, mosque, Swiss chalet, tower of Barbary... Such are the creations that make up the palace. The walls are adorned with quotes and poems, one of which inspired the name of this exceptional work of art. In 1912, the Postman Cheval's Ideal Palace was finally completed, after 33 years' hard work!
Inaugurated in 2014, the museum adjoining the Ideal Palace documents the life and inspirations of this unusual character.
To complement your visit, another sight to see is the Postman Cheval's tomb at the municipal cemetery, which Ferdinand Cheval, at the age of 78, took 8 years to build and called "the tomb of silence and endless rest".

The successor to the Guimet Museum in Lyon, the Confluences Museum is a museum of natural history and societies housed in a futuristic glass, concrete and stainless steel structure on the Quai Perrache, at the confluence of the Saône and Rhône rivers. Its aim: to give every visitor the keys to understanding the complexity of the world.
It is worth a visit for its structure alone, with its glass floor at the centre of the building, the "Crystal" to the north which is its main entrance, and the "Cloud" or main building comprising eight exhibition rooms.
Four permanent exhibitions, distinct but complementary, "Origins", "Societies, the theatre of humanity", "Species, the network of life", and "Eternities, visions of the afterlife", bring nearly 3,000 pieces to life on 3,000 m² of floor space: what are the origins of the Universe? Of life on earth? What is the place of humans in the chain of life? How are societies organised? What is the place of death in different civilisations? These are all questions that the Confluences Museum tries to answer, by encouraging dialogue between palaeontology, mineralogy, zoology, ethnography, archaeology, science and technology. But what could be more impressive than finding yourself face to face with the famous mammoth of Choulans, a camarasaurus, the Australian dugong or the mummy of Taubasthis?
Temporary exhibitions, digital and experimental spaces, and auditoriums are all among the activities to enjoy at this unmissable museum, to help us understand our world and explain it to young ones. They will no doubt jump at the chance to touch a rhinoceros skull or a lunar meteorite!
The ancient capital of the Gauls, Lyon was founded in the 1st century BC. The city has carried on developing ever since, and nowadays offers a remarkable architectural heritage. Let's set off to discover this city steeped in 2,000 years of history and home to many UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Lyon is famous for its historic centre, with treasures to amaze any visitor. Stroll around the picturesque streets of the old town, Vieux Lyon, spend some time in the Renaissance quarter, and admire the Cathedral of St. John. This Gothic building is notable for its four towers, 13th-century stained glass windows, Flamboyant Gothic Chapel of the Bourbons, bishop's throne and 14th-century astronomical clock. Don't miss the famous traboules, the inner passageways between streets that run through one or more buildings, containing tucked-away galleries, inner courtyards, ancient façades... The must-see Rue Saint-Jean is the main street in Vieux-Lyon, with a string of beautiful residences like the La Chamarerie mansion, the House of Lawyers or the Laurencin mansion.
Lyon also has a significant Roman heritage, exemplified by the remains of the Roman theatres. Located on the Fourvière hill, within the archaeological park which hosts the famous music festival Les Nuits de Fourvière every summer, they consist of a large theatre, the oldest Roman theatre in France, and the small theatre, the Odeon. Nearby, the Lugdunum Gallo-Roman Museum exhibits remarkable collections of sculptures, mosaics, jewellery and ceramics, as well as the famous Claudian Table, a bronze plaque inscribed with a speech given by the Roman Emperor Claudius in the year 48. At the top of the lush green hill is the majestic Basilica of Our Lady of Fourvière, which overlooks the city. Built at the end of the 19th century, it has a richly decorated interior, as evidenced by the mosaics depicting the story of the Virgin. From the esplanade, you can enjoy a marvellous view over the city, and also over the Alps on a clear day. Continue to the Heights Park (Parc des Hauteurs), which offers many viewpoints over the Saône and the city.
Another of Lyon's hills, La Croix-Rousse, offers a village atmosphere at the top (le plateau) and picturesque slopes (les pentes). It was once the neighbourhood of the canuts, the specialist silk workers who made Lyon famous in the past. An ideal place for a stroll, La Croix-Rousse is full of sights to see, with its House of the Canuts, dedicated to the history of silk-making in Lyon, typical traboules, pretty shops, frescoes and trompe-l'oeil paintings like the impressive Wall of the Canuts. At the bottom of La Croix-Rousse, on Rue de la Martinière, you can admire the magnificent and unmissable Lyonnais Fresco.
Between the Rhône and the Saône, the Presqu'île invites walkers and shopaholics to discover its commercial streets lined with boutiques and its beautiful squares, including Place des Terreaux, Place Bellecour - the biggest in Lyon! - Place des Jacobins and Place Louis Pradel. Rue Mercière is an ideal place to indulge in Lyon's culinary specialities thanks to its many restaurants. In the midst of an urban renewal programme, the Confluence quarter dazzles visitors with its ultra-modern creations. The museum is a must-see, for its unusual architecture as well as its collections about the history of Earth and human evolution.
To unwind, nothing beats a walk in the Tête d'Or Park. A breath of fresh air in the city, featuring green spaces with century-old trees, a lake, a rose garden and a free zoo, this immense park attracts walkers, joggers and rollerbladers. The banks of the Saône and Rhône rivers are also ideal for pleasant strolls, as is Barbe Island in the middle of the Saône, where the remains of a Romanesque abbey will delight lovers of old buildings.
Lyon is also a major gastronomy destination. The authentic specialities served by the "bouchons" (small restaurants typical of Lyon), lovely brasseries and great Michelin-starred restaurants are proof of this. Located at 102 Cours Lafayette, in Lyon's 3rd district, the Halles de Lyon - Paul Bocuse is a covered food market with shops and restaurants offering excellent local products. This is the place to be for gourmets and anyone who loves good food.
When it comes to art and culture, Lyon offers a wide range of museums. You have the Museum of Fine Arts and its exceptional collections of paintings and sculptures; the Museum of Textiles and Decorative Arts, which houses the largest collection of textiles in the world; the Museum of Contemporary Art; the Puppetry Museum, which will delight children and adults alike; the Miniature and Cinema Museum with its incredible collection of objects used for special effects; the Museum of the Lumière Institute to discover the beginnings of the silver screen, and many more. Lyon Aquarium and Mini World Lyon are sure to please younger visitors.
The Festival of Lights in December is a magical and unforgettable experience. At night-time, the city's bridges, monuments and buildings are aglow with coloured lights. A magnificent spectacle not to be missed!
Founded in the city centre in 1801, in an old Benedictine abbey that is a listed Historic Monument better-known as the "Palace of St. Peter" ("Palais Saint-Pierre"), the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon is one of Europe's most important museums.
Its collections cover a very long time period, ranging from ancient Egypt to modern art. In 70 rooms spread over three floors, visitors can discover countless masterpieces: three millennia of history in the Mediterranean Basin, from ancient Egypt to ancient Rome, in the "Antiquities" department; Byzantine ivories, painted Limoges enamel ware, Far Eastern ceramics and Renaissance earthenware in the art objects department; a medal room with 50,000 pieces; a graphic arts room; the main European pictorial art movements, from the Primitives to modern art, in the "Paintings" department; a remarkable collection of sculptures, from the Middle Ages to the 20th century and more…

Domaine grangier winemaker in Saint Joseph, Condrieu and Cote Rotie and Vin de Pays Syrah Rhodanian Hills Viognier and Syrah.
Malleval is a fortified medieval village, located on a rocky outcrop on the foothills of the Massif Central, along the Rhone River in the Pilat Regional Nature Park.
In this village, built on the rock, poor terrain, steep and difficult to access can only grow the vine.
We are therefore in the northern Côtes du Rhône with 2 appellations of great renown :
St Joseph and Condrieu
Our estate is on this wonderful site, we produce Saint Joseph red and white, Condrieu and red and white country wine.
This gaec exists since 1971 and the association of Antoine Cluzel and Michel Tranchand. For two years they have been supported by the nephew of the first and the son of the second, just to ensure relay. The farm today comprises 160 goats, 45 goats and 3 goats for a production of up to 600 liters per day in winter. Everything the cattle eat is produced by the gaec itself. If its operators are often on the Lyon markets, especially on weekends, they offer a direct sales a week the range of goat cheese from Pilat from the faisselle to the refined through the dry and semi dry.
Opening for direct sales Monday to Friday from 9am to 11am (the rest of the time by appointment). Closed on weekends. No exploitation visits.
It is in these hillsides organized in terraces supported by dry stone walls called "chaillées" that blooms and forms the vine thanks to its South / Southeast privileged exposure.
The Chaillées were built 2000 years ago by the Romans.
The terroir of the vineyards of Saint Joseph Nord, Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu are located on the slopes of the right bank of the Rhône.
The terraces of the estate are located on the eastern outskirts of Mount Pilat (1434 m altitude) which protects them from the weather *. They overlook the Rhone Valley continually bringing a pure breeze and light sanitizing berries.
The combe of Montelier flowing into the Rhone corridor regularly creates a fresh ventilation, preserving the aromatic purity of wines and limiting diseases of the vine.
