Day 20 - Cahors




Click here to see pictures.

Using Malcolm & Kay's place in Nadillac as a base, we went into Cahors today -- twice actually. The first time we drove in on our own and visited rhe old fortified bridge and then the Resistance Museum -- the largest of its kind in France. Cahors was a hub of Maquis activity during the war. We then wandered through the old town before taking a boat trip on the Lot river, seeing Cabors from the water, Tired and hot -- with temperatures in the mid-30s, we went back to our base. After the sun set, Malcolm and Kay took us back to Cahors to see the sound and light show on the old fortified bridge. This was fantastic. As music played, shapes and images were projected on all sides of the bridge, which people wandered about on freely. The images don't do it justice, but do capture some moments though.
