23 famous people come from Lavaur, Benjamin Thomas the best known

Benjamin Thomas (French cyclist) is the best known by our measure: 22 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Jean-Pierre Bel and Georges Pontier.

23 people born in Lavaur have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 36 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, leaders: 8 of the 23. That is 35% of the town’s list, against 24% across French towns.

Daniel François de Gélas de Lautrec, born in 1686. The youngest on the list was born in 1995.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Lavaur 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.
