Cadillac-sur-Garonne (French pronunciation: [kadijak syʁ ɡaʁɔn], literally Cadillac on Garonne; Gascon: Cadilhac, known as Cadillac until 31 December 2022) is a commune in the Gironde department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France.
The town is best known for being the namesake for the title adopted by Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, the founder of Detroit and Governor of Louisiana, on his arrival to what is now the United States. The Cadillac division of General Motors, and Cadillac, Michigan are named after him.
