- A chambon, a training device used on horses
- Emile Chambon (1905–1993), a Swiss painter
- Nicolas Chambon (1748-1826), a French politician who served as Mayor of Paris from 1792 to 1793.
- Pierre Chambon, a French biochemist and a genetist
- Venerable Marie Martha Chambon, a French Roman Catholic nun
A chambon is a piece of horse tack. It is a strap that runs forward from the bottom of the girth or surcingle, and forks. The forks continue to a ring on either side of the bridle or halter, at the base of the crownpiece. Running through those rings, the forks follow the cheekpieces to the bit. They may attach to the bit or pass through the bit rings and attach to themselves below the horse's neck.
Nicolas Chambon was a French politician who served as Mayor of Paris from 1792 to 1793.
Pierre Chambon was the founder of the Institute for Genetics and Cellular and Molecular Biology in Strasbourg, France. He was one of the leading molecular biologists who utilized gene cloning and sequencing technology to first decipher the structure of eukaryotic genes and their modes of regulation. His major contributions to science include the identification of RNA polymerase II(B), the identification of transcriptional control elements, the cloning and dissection of nuclear hormone receptors, revealing their structure and showing how they contribute to human physiology. He accomplished much of his work in the 1970-90s.
