74 famous people from Les Abymes, many of them athletes

Pascal Chimbonda (French footballer (born 1979)) is the best known by our measure: 35 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Christine Arron and Jocelyn Angloma.

74 people born in Les Abymes have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 97 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: 50 of the 74. That is 68% of the town’s list, against 19% across French towns.

Henri de Lacroix, born in 1844. The youngest on the list was born in 2005.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Les Abymes 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.
