4 famous people come from Évellys, Jean Gainche the best known

Jean Gainche (Road bicycle racer) is the best known by our measure: 12 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Ange Roussel and Bernard Glais.

4 people born in Évellys have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 5 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, athletes: 4 of the 4. That is 100% of the town’s list, against 19% across French towns.

Germain Mercier, born in 1927. The youngest on the list was born in 1938.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Évellys 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.
