5 famous people call Ars-en-Ré their birthplace

Marie-Thérèse Dethan-Roullet (French painter (1870-1945)) is the best known by our measure: 5 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Gaston Roullet and William Barbotin.

5 people born in Ars-en-Ré have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 6 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: 3 of the 5. That is 60% of the town’s list, against 25% across French towns.

Gaston Roullet, born in 1847. The youngest on the list was born in 1892.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Ars-en-Ré 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.
