21 famous people were born in Saint-Junien from 1778 to 1987

Sophie Vouzelaud (French model) is the best known by our measure: 10 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Joseph Louis Laval and Maurice Arreckx.

21 people born in Saint-Junien have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 26 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: 6 of the 21. That is 29% of the town’s list, against 24% across French towns.

Jean-Baptiste Simon Pouliot, born in 1778. The youngest on the list was born in 1987.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Saint-Junien 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.
