The 46 famous people born in Montargis, led by Anne-Louis Girodet

Anne-Louis Girodet (French painter (1767-1824)) is the best known by our measure: 35 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Jeanne-Marie Bouvier de La Motte, madame Guyon and Stéphane Robert.

46 people born in Montargis have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 63 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: 13 of the 46. That is 28% of the town’s list, against 25% across French towns.

Renée Burlamacchi, born in 1568. The youngest on the list was born in 1992.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Montargis 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.
