Madame de Remusat was attached to the Empress Josephine as dame du palais in 1802. Her memoirs threw light not only on the Napoleonic court, but also on the youth and education of her son Charles de Rémusat. He developed political views more liberal than those of his parents. She was the grand-daughter of Jean Gravier, marquis de Vergennes, elder brother of the French Minister of Foreign Affairs and Chief Minister of King Louis XVI, Charles Gravier, comte de Vergennes. The publication of this work by her grandson gave scholars new appreciation of her literary talent.
