From 1752 to 1943, Bouin was the birthplace of 5 famous people

Charles Renoux (French orientalist, translator) is the best known by our measure: 7 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Pierre Marchand and Sébastien Luneau.

5 people born in Bouin have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 9 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: 2 of the 5. That is 40% of the town’s list, against 25% across French towns.

Michel Pierre Luminais, born in 1752. The youngest on the list was born in 1943.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Bouin 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.
