Pitou 1715-1815, p. 118 :… "A pupil of Auguste Vestris, she made her debut at the Opéra in 1793 in Pierre-Gardel's popular pantomime ballet entitled Le Jugement de Pâris. She was endowed with a statuesque form and was accordingly often charged with representing goddesses and queens, and her physical strength gave her unusual endurance needed in more demanding roles. These assets fostered her promotion to première danseuse before long, and her assignment to a wide range of parts indicates the esteem in which she was held by management…." [roles. She fleed the Revolution to Bordeaux in 1799, came back to Paris in 1802 and maried Boïeldieu, mariage dissolved in 1818. She retired on 21 April 1819]
