Michelle Catherine Josephine Guespereau Tarbé des Sablons (1777–1855)[1] was a French[2] author and composer.[3] [4] She was best known for her "moral" novels,[5] but also composed several operas. She was generally known as Mme. Tarbé des Sablons.

She married the lawyer Sebastien Andre Tarbé des Sablons in March 1795.[6] They lived in Melun, France, and had two sons, Edmond and Eugene. Edmond published several novels, and both brothers wrote music criticism for Le Figaro newspaper.[7]

In 1872, the Pall Mall Budget reported that "a new comic opera, The Chanson de l' Etoile, the libretto by Edouard Blau,[1] and the music by Louis Gérome, [was] in reality [composed by] Mme. Tarbé des Sablons."[8]

Some of Tarbé des Sablons' music was published in a supplement to Le Gaulois called A Nos Abonnes.[9] Her publications included:
