Of the 136 famous people born in Pointe-à-Pitre, an unusual share are musicians

Saint-John Perse (French poet and diplomat (1887–1975)) is the best known by our measure: 93 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Lilian Thuram and Maryse Condé.

136 people born in Pointe-à-Pitre have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 187 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: 47 of the 136. That is 35% of the town’s list, against 19% across French towns.

Eugène Chapus, born in 1800. The youngest on the list was born in 1998.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Pointe-à-Pitre 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.
