Louis XV leads the 458 famous people born in Versailles

Louis XV (King of France and Navarre 1715 to 1774 (1710–1774)) is the best known by our measure: 106 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Charles X and Philippe V.

458 people born in Versailles have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 797 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: 136 of the 458. That is 30% of the town’s list, against 25% across French towns.

François Paul de Neufville de Villeroy, born in 1677. The youngest on the list was born in 2005.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Versailles 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.
