Marron glacé to build a factory to produce Spanish marrons glacés using Galician raw chestnuts, which previously were exported to France to produce the confectionary. Posada used the French and Italian formula to produce the marrons glacés. Today, there are two factories that produce marrons glacés in Spain. The French refer to chestnuts as "châtaigne" or "marron". Both terms refer to the fruit of the sweet chestnut "Castanea sativa". However, "marron" tends to denote a higher quality, larger fruit that is more easily peeled. The fifth edition of the dictionary "Dictionnaire de l'Académie française. Revu, corrigé et augmenté" published in 1798 states
Marron River that carries the outflow from the lake somewhere else (possibly Skaha Lake). While this is an interesting feature, there are a handful of other rivers in British Columbia that do this; many of which are in Central British Columbia where the terrain is flatter & features like this are more common. The river may have been first called the "River of the Wild Horses" back in 1833 by botanist David Douglas. The river was given its current name in 1871. The word "Marron" is French and it has several meanings. One of them is "domestic animal that has become wild".
