Visit the French mosaic mansion

#100 Ways to Travel The creator of La Maison Picassiette was Frenchman Raymond Isidore (1900-1964) in 1928 A mansion built with glass tile mosaics piece by piece. originally He was just a city government employee and cemetery worker, who by chance began to use various glass, pottery and porcelain fragments to create decorations for his house and garden. The magnificent masterpiece of this unknown artist, the great art, imagination, history, color and love that allowed us to discover his wonderful little house all these years after his death. What matters is not its size but its quality. There lies a wondrous universe hidden out there, with treasures galore, and an escape full of magic, joy, and color. I didn’t expect that there would be such a unique cottage. It was all built by the owner with perseverance, using fragments of various patterns and materials collected. Before I went in to visit, I was still doubting whether he could be considered an artist. After the visit, I was shocked. To me, this is the simplest and most ordinary art! But there is a time limit, so you need to take photos quickly.
