From 1723 to 1904, Authoison was the birthplace of 3 famous people

Lucien Bersot (French soldier shot for not wearing pants of dead man) is the best known by our measure: 5 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Claude Germain Rousselot and Anne-Marie Malingrey.

3 people born in Authoison have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one).

Among its famous people, soldiers and sailors: 1 of the 3. That is 33% of the town’s list, against 4% across French towns.

Claude Germain Rousselot, born in 1723. The youngest on the list was born in 1904.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Authoison 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.
