The 4 famous people born in Ainay-le-Château, led by André Lwoff

André Lwoff (French microbiologist) is the best known by our measure: 55 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Paul Guignard and Jeanne Bérangère.

4 people born in Ainay-le-Château have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one).

Among its famous people, scientists and doctors: 1 of the 4. That is 25% of the town’s list, against 7% across French towns.

Jeanne Bérangère, born in 1864. The youngest on the list was born in 1925.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Ainay-le-Château 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.
