16 famous people from Montbard, many of them writers and artists

Louis Jean-Marie Daubenton (French scientist) is the best known by our measure: 24 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Fabrice Philipot and Pierre Daubenton.

16 people born in Montbard have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 31 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 16. That is 44% of the town’s list, against 25% across French towns.

Pierre Daubenton, born in 1703. The youngest on the list was born in 1985.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Montbard 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.
