As of my last update in September 2021, several celebrities have either lived in or have a connection

to Lyon, France. Here are a few notable examples:

1. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: The famous French writer and aviator, best known for his novella
"The Little Prince" ("Le Petit Prince"), was born in Lyon in 1900 and spent some of his early
years there.
2. Paul Bocuse: The legendary French chef, often referred to as the "pope of gastronomy," was
born in Collonges-au-Mont-d'Or, a suburb of Lyon. His renowned restaurant, L'Auberge du
Pont de Collonges, is located just outside Lyon.
3. Tony Parker: The retired French professional basketball player and NBA star spent some of
his formative years in Lyon before embarking on his successful basketball career.
4. Amélie Mauresmo: The former professional tennis player and Wimbledon champion was
born in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, but she trained and lived in Lyon during her early years in
tennis.
5. René Descartes: The famous philosopher and mathematician spent a significant portion of
his life in France, including time in Lyon.
6. Bernard Pivot: The renowned French journalist, interviewer, and television host, known for
his work on the literary talk show "Apostrophes," was born in Lyon.
7. Albert Lasker: Though not a native of Lyon, this advertising executive and philanthropist
spent part of his childhood in the city before moving to the United States and becoming a
prominent figure in the advertising industry.

It's worth noting that some of these celebrities may have lived in Lyon for a period of their lives, but
their connections to the city have left a lasting impact on its culture and reputation. Keep in mind
that there may be additional celebrities who have lived in Lyon or have connections to the city
beyond those listed here.
