Writers and artists stand out among the 20 famous people born in Saint-Pierre

Aimé Merlo (French writer and journalist (1880-1958)) is the best known by our measure: 4 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Patrice Treuthardt and Florine Basque.

20 people born in Saint-Pierre have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 75 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, writers and artists: 8 of the 20. That is 40% of the town’s list, against 25% across French towns.

Alfred Tiphaine, born in 1836. The youngest on the list was born in 2005.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Saint-Pierre 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.
