No, but he was born and raised on a vineyard in France.

According to Wikipedia:[geek] "According to his personnel file seen in the episode "Conundrum", Jean-Luc Picard was born in La Barre, France, Earth on 13 July 2305 to Maurice and Yvette Gessard Picard. He grew up on his family's vineyard and constantly dreamed of leaving and joining Starfleet. He was consequently bullied as a young boy by his older brother, Robert."[/geek]

On a similar note, Scrappy, do you know what Hannibal Lecter said about the French?

Not for the being born in France part; but I did for all the details. My geek factor is up there, but not high enough to know Picard's birthday.
