Scenic Cruise Day 3 Friday – Libourne to Medoc


Cruise Day 3 19AUG22 Friday – Libourne to Medoc 

Scenic Diamond stayed moored at Libourne till after lunch. 

There were four excursions in the morning: a walking tour of Libourne, a sightseeing tour of Bergerac, or a tour and wine tasting at Ch d La Riviere in Fronsac, one group going by e-bicycle and the other by coach. 




We took the latter. The Chateau is at the top of a hill and its driveway twists and turns up the hill and exhausted one cyclist who came back with us on the coach. 



The Chateau has 7km of tunnels and cellars carved in the hill and we toured some of them, before having a tasting of three wines. 


 After lunch the boat departed for the Medoc. It moored at Fort Medoc at around 19:00. I learned that previously it had moored at the small town Pauillac which is where the Viking ship moored when were cruised Bordeaux in 2016. 

The boat stayed at Fort Medoc overnight.
