Gollut, the author, speaks more than once of a glacière in his topographical descriptions, and in a short account of it he states that it lay near the village of Leugné, which I find marked in the Delphinal Atlas very near the site of the Chartreuse of Grâce-Dieu; so that there can be no doubt that his glacière was the same with that which now exists.
Gollut, in his description of the fré-puits of Vesoul, observes that the remarkable pit known by that name was so cold, that in his time it had never been fully explored. Gehler's expression, however, 'a small hole, cannot possibly apply to the fré-puits; so that these would seem to be two different examples of cold caves near Vesoul.
Gollut tells a story of a dowager of Arbois, mother-in-law to Philip V. and Charles IV. of France, which outdoes legend of Bishop Hatto. Mahaut d'Artois was an elderly lady remarkable for her charities, and was by consequence always surrounded by large crowds of poor folk during her residence at the Châtelaine, the ruins of which lie a mile or two from Arbois.
