Notable people
- Jean Causeur – 1643–1771, butcher who was said to have lived to 131 years of age. Modern scrutiny of his birth records suggest that he was probably born in around 1665, making his age of death around 109 years, still an exceptional age for his time.L.-L. B. Petersen and B. Jeune, {{ISBN|87-7838-466-4}} ISSN 0909-119X , Odense, 2003; http://www.demogr.mpg.de/books/odense/6/03.htm
