List of Occitans

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a non-exhaustive list of people who were born in the Occitania historical territory, or notable people from other regions of France or Europe with Occitan roots, or notable people from other regions of France or Europe who have other significant links with the historical region. One may note that this article, 'Notable people from Occitania', is compound for a large part of personalities from the historical region of Occitania and/or who own an Occitan patronym and/or who lived for the major part of their lives in the Occitania historical territory, yet an important part of the list members still can't be considered as belonging to the Occitan historical heritage, mainly due to their mother-tongue, French.

Dominique Ingres, Self-portrait.
Frédéric Mistral, Symbol of the Occitan revival.
Montaigne, prominent thinker of the Renaissance.
Audrey Tautou, famous actress and model.
Albert Fert, 2007 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Paul Cézanne, Bay of Marseilles. Cézanne loved to paint his native Provence.
Montesquieu, a major figure of the Enlightenment.
Pierre de Fermat, considered as one of the greatest French mathematicians of the Renaissance, who is given the Fermat's Last Theorem.
