27 famous people were born in Tarascon from 1668 to 1979

Jean Gilles (French composer) is the best known by our measure: 10 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Aleissandrino Bremound and Jean-François Rodriguez.

27 people born in Tarascon have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 44 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, writers and artists: 7 of the 27. That is 26% of the town’s list, against 25% across French towns.

Jean Gilles, born in 1668. The youngest on the list was born in 1979.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Tarascon 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.
