"Ferdinand Cheval: The Postman Who Delivered a Palace" tells the inspiring true story of Ferdinand Cheval, a humble French postman in the late 19th century. Every day, while delivering mail in his village, Cheval collected unusual stones he encountered along his route. Driven by a dream, he tirelessly worked to create a monumental palace made entirely of these stones, which he named the Palais Idéal. With unwavering dedication and creativity, he transformed his vision into reality, despite skepticism from others. Cheval's story celebrates perseverance, imagination, and the pursuit of one's dreams against all odds. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
