Wissous is the birthplace of 3 famous people

Gaston Henry-Haye (French merchant, politician and diplomat) is the best known by our measure: 5 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Jean-Marie Calmettes and Paul Chantrel.

3 people born in Wissous have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one).

Among its famous people, writers and artists: 2 of the 3. That is 67% of the town’s list, against 25% across French towns.

Gaston Henry-Haye, born in 1890. The youngest on the list was born in 1929.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Wissous 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.
