14 famous people were born in Berck, most of them between 1914 and 1969

Annette Messager (French artist (born 1943)) is the best known by our measure: 19 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Céline Deville and Mady Berry.

14 people born in Berck have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 21 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, leaders: 4 of the 14. That is 29% of the town’s list, against 24% across French towns.

Mady Berry, born in 1887. The youngest on the list was born in 1988.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Berck 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.
