Of the 13 famous people born in Tartas, an unusual share are leaders

François Dupeyron (French film director and screenwriter (1950–2016)) is the best known by our measure: 20 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Augustin Darricau and Jean-Baptiste de Larreyre.

13 people born in Tartas have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 17 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 13. That is 46% of the town’s list, against 24% across French towns.

Jean Lanusse, born in 1720. The youngest on the list was born in 1971.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Tartas 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.
