Of the 33 famous people born in Figeac, an unusual share are clergy and people of faith

Jean-François Champollion (French classical scholar (1790-1832)) is the best known by our measure: 86 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Charles Boyer and Jacques-Joseph Champollion.

33 people born in Figeac 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, leaders: 8 of the 33. That is 24% of the town’s list, against 24% across French towns.

Guillaume Joseph Boutaric, born in 1756. The youngest on the list was born in 1994.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Figeac 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.
