Born near Toulouse in the village of Saint-Nicolas-de-la-Grave, Cadillac reinvented himself when he set off for the New World. Along the way, he adopted a new name, a new identity, and used his charm and ambition to rise in the ranks of New France. He became a key figure, founding Fort Pontchartrain (which would later become Detroit) and serving as Governor of Louisiana.

Annie and Kim also share their visit to Cadillac’s birthplace, where they explored the local museum and uncovered more about his legacy. They talk about the small towns of southwest France, like Castelsarrasin and Moissac, and their connections to this intriguing historical figure.

Cadillac was an ambitious and controversial man who shaped early French-American history. Whether you’re a history buff, a Francophile, or just curious about the real story behind the name "Cadillac," this episode is full of fascinating insights.

Listen now to discover more about this bold explorer and his incredible journey from rural France to the founding of Detroit!
