88 famous people were born in Talence, most of them between 1914 and 1969

Henri de Laborde de Monpezat (Prince consort of Denmark from 1972 to 2018) is the best known by our measure: 50 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Philippe Sollers and José Bové.

88 people born in Talence have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 116 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, writers and artists: 21 of the 88. That is 24% of the town’s list, against 25% across French towns.

Willy Rozier, born in 1901. The youngest on the list was born in 2004.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Talence 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.
