Travel Guide Cadeillan

Located on a hillside overlooking the confluence of the Save and Gesse rivers, Cadeillan was a commandery of the Templar Order and then a commandery of the Order of the Knights of Malta. With 64 inhabitants, it is the least populated of the Savès villages. However, jazz lovers can come here on a pilgrimage to visit the grave of trumpet player Bill Coleman, co-founder of the "Jazz in Marciac" festival. The musician lived in Cadeillan and is buried in the town's cemetery alongside his wife Lily. A library is dedicated to him at the town hall where his famous trumpet, articles, photos and vinyl records are displayed. Surrounded by the Gesse and the Save, Cadeillan has several famous fishing spots. There are picnic tables for walkers and visitors near the town hall. You can admire the bell tower of the church of Saint-Orens.
