Questions about famous people from Évreux Who is the most famous person from Évreux? Dayot Upamecano (French footballer (born 1998)) is the best known by our measure: 52 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Esteban Ocon and Léon Walras.
How many famous people were born in Évreux? 119 people born in Évreux have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 172 people here; the rest aren’t listed because an article names somewhere else or no town, or a check couldn’t be completed.
What is Évreux known for? Among its famous people, athletes: 43 of the 119. That is 36% of the town’s list, against 19% across French towns.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Évreux? Charles II de Navarre, born in 1332. The youngest on the list was born in 2001.
Who counts as from Évreux? People whose Wikidata birthplace is Évreux 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.
Why is someone missing? 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.
From Wikidata (CC0: birthplaces, descriptions, years, occupations, how many Wikipedia and sister-site articles cover each person) and French and English Wikipedia (each person’s articles confirm the birthplace; linked, not quoted). Birthplaces are matched to the commune by INSEE code and its history of mergers (INSEE COG 2026). Ranked by the number of articles. Fields are read from Wikidata’s description and occupations. “The usual town”: everyone listed across French towns.
