No town in Cher has more famous people than Bourges: 168

Louis XI de France (King of France from 1461 to 1483 (1423–1483)) is the best known by our measure: 85 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Berthe Morisot and Jean-Christophe Rufin.

168 people born in Bourges have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 274 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: 51 of the 168. That is 30% of the town’s list, against 24% across French towns.

Austrégésile de Bourges, born in 551. The youngest on the list was born in 2005.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Bourges 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.
