Fulgence Bienvenüe tops a list of 4 famous people born in Uzel

Fulgence Bienvenüe (French civil engineer (1852–1936)) is the best known by our measure: 19 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Henri Peslier and Antoine Huby.

4 people born in Uzel have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 7 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, scientists and doctors: 2 of the 4. That is 50% of the town’s list, against 7% across French towns.

Fulgence Bienvenüe, born in 1852. The youngest on the list was born in 2001.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Uzel 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.
