9 famous people were born in Amplepuis, more of them writers and artists than in most towns

Jean-Baptiste Vietty (French sculptor and archaeologist (1787-1842)) is the best known by our measure: 5 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Adolphe Deteix and Albert Gelin.

9 people born in Amplepuis 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: 5 of the 9. That is 56% of the town’s list, against 25% across French towns.

Claude de Rebé, born in 1587. The youngest on the list was born in 1968.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Amplepuis 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.
