Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: July 8, 1959 (Who's Who in France; BnF authorities; franceinter.fr) or in 1961 (copainsdavant.linternaute.com).

The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
