He was also a writer who wrote an important essay about the history and aesthetics of Basque art.

The building was started in 1882 and Gaudi devoted the last 15 years of his life to the project (he died in 1926) but the project is still under construction. It is expected to take until 2026 for it to be finished.

Quintessential provincial France.

I also found out that Albert Schweitzer—the 1952 Nobel Peace Prize winner—lived at this chateau for awhile. Supposedly, I stayed in his room (just inside the lower window). The floor is wooden and the walls are pale yellow.
