From 1702 to 1995, Lunel was the birthplace of 30 famous people

Ellyes Skhiri (Tunisian and French association football player) is the best known by our measure: 36 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Yassin El-Azzouzi and Pierre Ramadier.

30 people born in Lunel have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 46 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: 7 of the 30. That is 23% of the town’s list, against 19% across French towns.

Henri de Rochemore, born in 1702. The youngest on the list was born in 1995.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Lunel 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.
