3 people born in Fontoy 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, leaders: 2 of the 3. That is 67% of the town’s list, against 24% across French towns.

Jean-Pierre Mérot, born in 1848. The youngest on the list was born in 1916.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Fontoy 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.
