Duerne is the birthplace of 2 famous people

Philippe Thomas (French geologist, veterinarian and soldier) is the best known by our measure: 5 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Antoine Crozier.

2 people born in Duerne 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, scientists and doctors: 1 of the 2. That is 50% of the town’s list, against 7% across French towns.

Philippe Thomas, born in 1843. The youngest on the list was born in 1850.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Duerne 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.
