The white Croisère (July 1934 - October 1934) was the fourth long-distance car trek organized by André Citroen.
Taking into account the media results obtained thanks to successes of the black Cruising and the yellow Cruising, André Citroen was very tempted to renew a comparable exploit on the American continent.
On a way imagined by the Franco-American engineer Charles Bedaux (1886-1944), André Citroen launches five Citroen-Kégresse of last model in a crossing of the North-West of the Canada starting from Edmonton.
Forwarding comprises 17 people and share of Edmonton on July 4th 1934. Launching out to the attack of the Rocky Mountains, it very quickly encounters unforeseen and insurmountable difficulties which had with the pouring rain, the landslides and the mud which is followed from there. Three of the five vehicles sink in the passage of rivers in rising. The two others must be abandoned, absorbed in mud, on August 16th.
The not very glorious return takes place with horse and in the train with Edmonton on October 24th, 1934. This explains why this Citroen cruising remains little known.
