8 famous people were born in Valserhône, most of them between 1914 and 1969

Jacques Dessemme (French basketball player (1925–2019)) is the best known by our measure: 8 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Étienne-Paul-Émile-Marie Beynet and Louise de Ballon.

8 people born in Valserhône have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 14 people here; the rest aren’t listed because an article names somewhere else or no town, or a check couldn’t be completed.

Among its famous people, athletes: 2 of the 8. That is 25% of the town’s list, against 19% across French towns.

Louise de Ballon, born in 1591. The youngest on the list was born in 1951.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Valserhône itself, matched by its INSEE code (a commune merged into it counts when the dates allow), whose French Wikipedia article agrees, and their English article too when they have one. A hospital or neighbourhood recorded without its commune isn’t matched. People who only lived here, adult performers and people known mainly for crimes aren’t listed.

Their Wikidata birthplace may be a hospital, a neighbourhood or a wider area, another commune, or missing, or their articles may not name a birthplace. We only list people the sources agree on; editing Wikidata or Wikipedia changes this page at the next refresh.
