Limoges leads Haute-Vienne with 298 famous people

Sadi Carnot (5th president of France (1837–1894)) is the best known by our measure: 60 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come André Antoine and Jean-Baptiste Jourdan.

298 people born in Limoges have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 466 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, leaders: 84 of the 298. That is 28% of the town’s list, against 24% across French towns.

Léonard II Limosin, born in 1550. The youngest on the list was born in 2002.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Limoges 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.
