Who dated Arthur Meyer?

Arthur Meyer (1844 – 1924) was a French press baron. He was director of Le Gaulois, a notable conservative French daily newspaper that was eventually taken over by Le Figaro (run by François Coty at the time) in 1929. Meyer was a royalist, an unusual personality, a key player at the crossroads of society life, the press and politics under the French Third Republic.

Alice Regnault (born Augustine-Alexandrine Toulet; 5 February 1849 – 12 July 1931) was a French actress and courtesan.

Her theatrical career began in 1868, after the death of her first husband. Critics praised her for her beauty and talent, and she performed in a large number of roles throughout her career. She became very rich as a courtesan in Paris and she had relationships of varying lengths with wealthy men. She retired from the stage in 1883, at the age of 34. She briefly worked as a journalist, and published two novels: Mademoiselle Pomme (1886) and La Famille Carmettes (1888).

She is known for secretly marrying the French writer Octave Mirbeau, in May 1887, while they were in London.
