Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was born in Leipzig in 1646 and died in Hannover in 1716. I don't know if he ever spent time in France, but he was German.

Gottwried Wilhelm Leibnitz was a German, born in Leipzig, IIRC. What connection does France have with him? He visited there on a few occasions, that's all.
