Mâcon, birthplace of Alphonse de Lamartine and 104 more famous people

Alphonse de Lamartine (French author, poet and statesman (1790-1869)) is the best known by our measure: 109 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Antoine Griezmann and Valentin Rongier.

105 people born in Mâcon have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 155 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: 29 of the 105. That is 28% of the town’s list, against 25% across French towns.

Guillaume Perrier, born in 1600. The youngest on the list was born in 2002.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Mâcon 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.
