2 famous people call Escautpont their birthplace

Patrick Leroy (French politician, mayor of Denain) is the best known by our measure: 1 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Raoul Merchet.

2 people born in Escautpont 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: 1 of the 2. That is 50% of the town’s list, against 24% across French towns.

Raoul Merchet, born in 1925. The youngest on the list was born in 1950.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Escautpont 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.
