Summary/Abstract: Of all 8 ministers of France in Bucharest between 1880 and 1916, the name of Camille Blondel is the most known. It couldn’t be different. The French diplomat succeeded, during his mission in Bucharest, to contribute to a rapprochement between Romania and France at the beginning of XX century. In this paper, we have been looking to surprise aspects of his activity in Romanian Old Kingdom before the outbreak of First World War and after 1914. During the period of Romania’s neutrality he had intense activity until May 1916, when he was suddenly replaced. He didn’t leave Romania, preferring to stay and withdraw to Iasi along with the Romanian administration at the end of 1916.
