The Ideal Palace of Ferdinand Cheval, built single-handedly by a rural French postman who collected rocks in a wheelbarrow (fourth picture) during his 10-hour rounds over 33 years. As seen on an excursion from Riverside Ravel.

Having spent 33 years building a palace from rocks, French postman Ferdinand Cheval wanted to be buried there, but when this was refused he toiled for another eight years constructing a mausoleum where he and his family are now interred. As seen on a tour from Riverside Ravel.

Part of the Waterside Restaurant on Riverside Ravel. Great to see so many tables for two. On a cruise, do you prefer to dine as a couple or sit with strangers and make new friends?
