Sorèze counts 7 famous people, first among them Dominique Clos

Dominique Clos (French botanist (1821-1908)) is the best known by our measure: 11 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Jean Mistler and Claude Devic.

7 people born in Sorèze have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 11 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, clergy and people of faith: 2 of the 7. That is 29% of the town’s list, against 3% across French towns.

Claude Devic, born in 1670. The youngest on the list was born in 1897.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Sorèze 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.
