Today we take a trip into the countryside to visit a special attraction-The Ideal Palace of the Postman Cheval(sic). We pick up our AVIS and manage to negotiate our way out of Lyon to Hauterives, taking progressively narrow roads. I now have mastered most of the gesticulations one directs at one's fellow drivers on the motorways.
The ideal Palace was built solely by the local postie who having surplus energy after completing his daily 40Km route(en pied) felt he nothing better to do than build himself a fantastical palace in his backyard.
After our inspection of this bizarre monument we drove back into Lyon which proved somewhat problematic but resulted in a returned unscathed car and passengers.
Still recovering from last night's grande bouche we spent a quiet evening in our apartment.
