The Ice Museum
This year, the ephemeral works at the Ice Cream Museum are dedicated to the theme of music. A theme linked to music, you will also find a portrait of Johnny as a souvenir and many other sculptures illustrating the 4th art. Ice sculpture presents difficulties linked to the variability of the material used. The ice must remain in a very cold environment: between minus ten and minus fourteen degrees to be carved without crumbling or melting. Michel is at the origin of these works and works on blocks of ice more than 2 meters high, 80 centimeters deep and 1.5 meters long. The end result is impressive: with great lightness, the translucent ice crystals bring the shapes to life and arouse fascination and wonder. The 18 unique pieces make Freddie Mercury or even a piano and other elements come to life after several hours of work. You will be able to enjoy an exceptional experience that is as astonishing as it is fleeting.
The ice show
Immerse yourself in the heart of the Christmas tale on ice under a marquee set up for this show, discover the traditions of the great ice shows "Féerie Givrée", a unique creation from the Côte d'Azur production company DELICE SHOW.
