The French language Wikipedia's own article on Lazare Lenain states plainly that he was born in Paris, where some secondary summaries confuse his birthplace with Amiens, the city where his book was published and where he worked. Its strength is that it is a reasonably detailed account distinguishing the two facts clearly. Its limit is the ordinary one for a crowd edited encyclopedia entry in any language: fine for this biographical correction, not a substitute for a dedicated scholarly biography.
