Montgesty counts 2 famous people, first among them Jean-Gabriel Perboyre

Jean-Gabriel Perboyre (French Vincentian missionary, martyr and saint (1802-1840)) is the best known by our measure: 16 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Joseph Lafon de Cayx.

2 people born in Montgesty have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one).

Among its famous people, clergy and people of faith: 1 of the 2. That is 50% of the town’s list, against 3% across French towns.

Joseph Lafon de Cayx, born in 1778. The youngest on the list was born in 1802.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Montgesty 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.
