Brienne-le-Château’s famous people span 228 years: 8 births from 1733 to 1961

Jacqueline Laurent (French actress (1918–2009)) is the best known by our measure: 11 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Jules René Bourguignat and Jules-Charles Aviat.

8 people born in Brienne-le-Château 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, scientists and doctors: 2 of the 8. That is 25% of the town’s list, against 7% across French towns.

Noël Claude Janny, born in 1733. The youngest on the list was born in 1961.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Brienne-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.
