Of the 136 famous people born in Angoulême, none is better known than Charles-Augustin Coulomb

Charles-Augustin Coulomb (French physicist (1736-1806)) is the best known by our measure: 100 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Marguerite de Valois-Angoulême and Adrien Silva.

136 people born in Angoulême have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 226 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, leaders: 34 of the 136. That is 25% of the town’s list, against 24% across French towns.

Marguerite de Valois-Angoulême, born in 1492. The youngest on the list was born in 2006.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Angoulême 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.
