Performers stand out among the 13 famous people born in Challans

Jacqueline Auriol (French aviator (1917–2000)) is the best known by our measure: 22 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Constance Picaud and Olivier Perraudeau.

13 people born in Challans have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 17 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, performers: 4 of the 13. That is 31% of the town’s list, against 8% across French towns.

Julien-Urbain-François-Marie-Riel Lefebvre de La Chauvière, born in 1757. The youngest on the list was born in 2000.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Challans 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.
