The Marmousets estate was only equipped with an ice cave in the 18th century, when the popularity of this “factory” integrated into the parks took off. The ice cream was kept there, the sorbets made, but it was also used to store, during the heat of summer, perishable food supplies, fruit, game, etc. The ice house was installed under a mound of earth covered with trees, intended for bring shade. A vestibule led to the underground cavity where the ice was placed on a wooden cage. A sump allowed the evacuation of meltwater. Recovered by sled, the snow and ice from ponds and moats were stored in layers then brought into contact with boiling water vapor. The condensation process was accelerated: the vapor transformed into a solid filled the spaces so as to form a compact mass. (Source www.parcsetjardins.fr)
