Built by Pierre Bouvarel, le Ron des Fades (Fariy Rocks) is a miniature village in the Pourcharesse commune of Dompnac, France. While creating his miniature village, Bouvarel takes Dompnac and its surroundings as a model. For instance, it is possible to see the original building of St Régis Chapel while standing near the miniature one.
Le Ron des Fades may remind its visitors of Liliput from the famous book called Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift with its tiny villagers and houses.
A small river fed by a waterfall guides the visitors through terraced gardens, bridges, cobblestones, beehives, and miniature fairy houses. Bouvarel also uses more than 30 local species of trees and bonsai in order to decorate the tiny gardens. Particularly the chestnut trees and lauze roofs create a unique and authentic atmosphere on the site.
