Local History in Mions

The Église Sainte-Madeleine de Mions was consecrated in 1884. This date gives the church a clear historical reference point. The Glacière de Mions was used to store ice for wealthy estate owners—a function that was considered a luxury. This brings together a precisely dated religious event and an insight into historical everyday life and property relations. Those interested in local history will find two distinct points of interest: the church’s consecration and the Glacière’s former use.
