More famous people were born in Clermont-Ferrand than in any other town in Puy-de-Dôme: 356

Gabriella Papadakis (French ice dancer) is the best known by our measure: 30 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Patrick Depailler and Laure Boulleau.

356 people born in Clermont-Ferrand have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 553 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: 92 of the 356. That is 26% of the town’s list, against 19% across French towns.

Gall Ier de Clermont, born in 489. The youngest on the list was born in 2002.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Clermont-Ferrand 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.
