Glacière du Gaudin, 19th-century ice house in Mazaugues, France
The circular stone structure rises 23 meters high with a diameter of 17 meters, featuring thick walls designed for ice preservation throughout summer months.
Built in 1880, this industrial building stored natural ice collected from nearby water sources to supply the city of Toulon during warmer seasons.
The restoration of this ice house represents the preservation of regional heritage, demonstrating historical methods of ice production and storage in Provence.
Visitors can reach the site through a marked hiking trail starting from Mazaugues village, with parking available 800 meters after the village center.
The structure includes specialized pools adjacent to the main building where water would freeze naturally during winter for collection and storage.
