Scientists and doctors stand out among the 34 famous people born in Fécamp

Richard Ier de Normandie (10th-century duke of Normandy) is the best known by our measure: 43 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come David Belle and Justine Triet.

34 people born in Fécamp have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 53 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: 9 of the 34. That is 26% of the town’s list, against 25% across French towns.

Richard Ier de Normandie, born in 933. The youngest on the list was born in 1992.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Fécamp 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.
