Bessèges is the birthplace of 3 famous people

Pierre Jouguet (French Egyptologist) is the best known by our measure: 7 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come André Rouvière and Yves Delset.

3 people born in Bessèges have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 10 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: 1 of the 3. That is 33% of the town’s list, against 7% across French towns.

Pierre Jouguet, born in 1869. The youngest on the list was born in 1936.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Bessèges 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.
