75 famous people come from Libourne, Eugène Atget the best known

Eugène Atget (French photographer (1857-1927)) is the best known by our measure: 29 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Mickaël Delage and Christine Cicot.

75 people born in Libourne have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 108 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, athletes: 18 of the 75. That is 24% of the town’s list, against 19% across French towns.

Elie Dumas-Gontier, born in 1731. The youngest on the list was born in 1999.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Libourne 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.
