Scenic Cruise Day 5 - Cadillac

 


Cruise Day 5 Sunday – Fort Medoc to Cadillac

 



At around 07:00 the ship departed for Cadillac. It had to wait at Pont de pierre until the water was low enough at pass under it. The Viking Forsetti was also waiting, and both ships passed under the bridge one after another.

 



After lunch was a guided walking tour for everyone of the town of Cadillac named after the dukes who founded it and the restored Château des ducs d'Épernon à Cadillac, variously the duke’s residence, a prison and a girl offenders and orphan’s home.

We also heard how the name Cadillac was appropriated by a con-man who went to America where he founded Detroit and after whom the car is named.

 

After dinner was dancing to the sound of guest entertainers Audrey & Julien. 


The boat remained at Cadillac overnight.
