From 1590 to 2006, Lisieux was the birthplace of 57 famous people

Nicolas Batum (French basketball player (born 1988)) is the best known by our measure: 36 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Thomas Heurtaux and Marine Johannès.

57 people born in Lisieux have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 98 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: 16 of the 57. That is 28% of the town’s list, against 25% across French towns.

Jean de Belleau, born in 1590. The youngest on the list was born in 2006.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Lisieux 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.
