Annezin is the birthplace of 2 famous people

Daniel Beauvois (French historian (b. 1938)) is the best known by our measure: 7 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Georges Bout.

2 people born in Annezin 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, writers and artists: 1 of the 2. That is 50% of the town’s list, against 25% across French towns.

Georges Bout, born in 1933. The youngest on the list was born in 1938.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Annezin 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.
