16 famous people were born in Pertuis, more of them athletes than in most towns

Erwann Le Péchoux (French fencer) is the best known by our measure: 21 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Akim Zedadka and Karim Zedadka.

16 people born in Pertuis have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 31 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, athletes: 5 of the 16. That is 31% of the town’s list, against 19% across French towns.

Honorat de Meynier, born in 1570. The youngest on the list was born in 2000.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Pertuis 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.
