4 famous people call Vault-de-Lugny their birthplace

Henri Mitterand (French lexicographer and university teacher (1928-2021)) is the best known by our measure: 4 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Auguste de Laissardière and Henri Content.

4 people born in Vault-de-Lugny have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 5 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: 1 of the 4. That is 25% of the town’s list, against 25% across French towns.

Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, born in 1868. The youngest on the list was born in 1928.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Vault-de-Lugny 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.
