Charolles’ famous people span 364 years: 25 births from 1601 to 1965

Michel Roux (French chef) is the best known by our measure: 21 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Louis Jacolliot and Marie-Antoinette Tonnelat.

25 people born in Charolles have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 30 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, writers and artists: 7 of the 25. That is 28% of the town’s list, against 25% across French towns.

Claude de la Magdelaine, born in 1601. The youngest on the list was born in 1965.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Charolles 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.
