Antoine, Prince Bibesco (Romanian: Prinţul Anton Bibescu) (July 19, 1878 – September 2, 1951) was a Romanian aristocrat, lawyer, diplomat and writer.
His father was Prince Alexandre Bibesco, the last surviving son of the Hospodar of Wallachia. His mother was Helene Epourano, daughter of a former Prime Minister of Romania. Though raised at 69, Rue de Courcelles, in Paris, Antoine continued to oversee the Bibesco estates in Craiova until after World War II.
As a young man, his mother, Princess Hélène Bibesco's celebrated Paris salon gave him the opportunity to meet Charles Gounod, Claude Debussy, Camille Saint-Saëns, Pierre Bonnard, Édouard Vuillard, Aristide Maillol, Anatole France and Marcel Proust among many other notables. Both his father and mother commissioned artworks and music (most notably Edgar Degas and George Enescu) and Antoine continued this family tradition, particularly through his friendship with Vuillard.
Marcel Proust became a lifelong friend and shared a secret language in which Marcel was Lecram and the Bibescos were Ocsebib. Antoine made a concerted effort to have Proust's Du Côté de Chez Swann (in which, it is said, Bibesco was the model for Robert de St. Loup) published by André Gide and the Nouvelle Revue Française, but failed in that effort. Toward the end of Proust's life, Bibesco, who was a great raconteur, was an outside ear for the reclusive writer. Later he published Letters of Marcel Proust to Antoine Bibesco.
Anna, Comtesse Mathieu de Noailles (15 November 1876 – 30 April 1933) was a Romanian-French writer.
Born Princess Anna Elisabeth Bibesco-Bassaraba de Brancovan in Paris, she was a descendant of the Bibescu and Craioveşti families of Romanian boyars. Her father was Prince Grégoire Bibesco-Bassaraba, a son of Wallachian Prince Gheorghe Bibesco and Zoe Mavrocordato-Bassaraba de Brancovan. Her Greek mother was the former Ralouka (Rachel) Mussurus, a musician, to whom the Polish composer Ignacy Paderewski dedicated several of his compositions. Via her mother, Anna de Noailles is a great-great-granddaughter of Sophronius of Vratsa, one of the leading figures of the Bulgarian National Revival, through his grandson Stefan Bogoridi, caimacam of Moldavia.
In 1897 she married Mathieu Fernand Frédéric Pascal de Noailles (1873–1942), the fourth son of the 7th Duke de Noailles. The couple soon became the toast of Parisian high society. They had one child, a son, Count Anne-Jules de Noailles (1900–1979).

- Oh ! écoute ça, Simon ! " l'amour, ce souillon à la robe salie de vin, s'accroche à la jeunesse, la mord, la déchire et la broie. Il la tue ! Dieu ! Dieu ! Pourquoi montrons-nous tant de faiblesse ?" - Cette jeune personne est complètement maboule ! - Elle avait besoin de m'envoyer son sacré bouquin ! Et il faudra que je lui en parle aimablement. - La reliure est audacieuse. - C'était un type très rigolo, tu sais, avant qu'elle ait épousé ce petit homme sinistre... - Elle a toujours été poseuse. Il est absurde de vouloir faire de l'art à tout prix. Au fond, elle avait une bonne nature, simple, normale.... une fille de chez nous. - Dis donc, toi... Tu n'es pas rasé... - Je n'ai pas la prétention de l'être, mais je le serai tout à l'heure, quand j'aurai fini ça. - Sais-tu, Simon ....

Mogoşoaia Palace is situated about 10 kilometres from Bucharest, Romania. It was built between 1698-1702 by Constantin Brâncoveanu in what is called the Romanian Renaissance style or Brâncovenesc style, a combination of Venetian and Ottoman elements. The palace bears the name of the widow of the Romanian boyar Mogoş, who owned the land it was built on. The Palace was to a large extent rebuilt in the 1920s by Marthe Bibesco. The Palace had been given to Marthe by her husband, George Bibesco, who later also deeded the land to her. She spent all her wealth from the many books she wrote in its reconstruction and it became the meeting place for politicians and international high society, a quiet retreat during the growing turmoil of the 1930s. Prince George died in 1941 and was buried in the s...

Connue pour ses ouvrages littéraires et pour une vie sociale d'exceptionnelle brillance, Marthe princesse Bibesco (1886-1973) n'est pas seulement un écrivain français d'origine roumaine ; à travers ses ouvrages, elle fait aussi preuve d'une véritable pensée historique et diplomatique qui lui donne les traits de ce qu'on appelle aujourd'hui « un diplomate culturel ».

BUCURESTI STRICT SECRET MARTHA BIBESCU UN AMOR PRINCIAR Martha Bibescu a avut nenumărați amanți, culeși cam din aceeași lume aristocratică. Era snoabă, chiar mitomană, extrem de mondenă. Făcea caz de imaginarele ei origini bizantine. Căuta să-si etaleze necontestata ei frumusețe. În primul sfert al secolului XX, a fost una din marile frumuseți ale Europei. Se spune că a avut relații cu kronprinzul german, cu regele Ferdinand, cu regele Spaniei Alfons al Xlll-lea, etc. (Stelian Tanase)
