Show all 177 Next door Famous people from the towns next door Of the towns around it, Neuilly-sur-Seine has the most on record: 688.
Questions about famous people from Suresnes Who is the most famous person from Suresnes? Julie Gayet (French film actress and film producer) is the best known by our measure: 41 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Irène Jacob and Leos Carax.
How many famous people were born in Suresnes? 180 people born in Suresnes have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 257 people here; the rest aren’t listed because an article names somewhere else or no town, or a check couldn’t be completed.
What is Suresnes known for? Among its famous people, performers: 37 of the 180. That is 21% of the town’s list, against 8% across French towns.
Who is the earliest-born famous person from Suresnes? Jean-Rodolphe Perronet, born in 1708. The youngest on the list was born in 2002.
Who counts as from Suresnes? People whose Wikidata birthplace is Suresnes 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.
Why is someone missing? 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.
From Wikidata (CC0: birthplaces, descriptions, years, occupations, how many Wikipedia and sister-site articles cover each person) and French and English Wikipedia (each person’s articles confirm the birthplace; linked, not quoted). Birthplaces are matched to the commune by INSEE code and its history of mergers (INSEE COG 2026). Ranked by the number of articles. Fields are read from Wikidata’s description and occupations. “The usual town”: everyone listed across French towns. Portraits: each person’s Wikidata image, from Wikimedia Commons under the license below (our copy, resized).
