Matignon counts 2 famous people, first among them Paul Sébillot

Paul Sébillot (French folklorist, painter, and writer (1843-1918)) is the best known by our measure: 14 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Jean-Pierre Fourré.

2 people born in Matignon have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 3 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: 1 of the 2. That is 50% of the town’s list, against 25% across French towns.

Paul Sébillot, born in 1843. The youngest on the list was born in 1944.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Matignon 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.
