Habitation Fond Saint-Jacques : the purgery


     Father Labat made construct a purgery on Habitation Fond Saint-Jacques. There, the sugar was putted in molds (named sugar shapes), in order to rid it of the lime and the ash added to the sugar cane juice before cooking to purify it. The purgery could contain 1800 of these sugar shapes.
