The character of gentleman-thief Arsène Lupin was created by Maurice Leblanc, a contemporary of Arthur Conan Doyle (late 19th-early 20th century) and is as widely known in the French speaking world as Sherlock Holmes is in the English speaking world.

(Actually one of Lupin's antagonists is Herlock Sholmes ;-) )
