Her life was like a plot from a movie. In Villeperdue, still wearing men’s clothing, she was insulted by a young nobleman. They fought a duel and she drove her blade through his shoulder. The next day, she asked about his health and found out he was Louis-Joseph d’Albert Luynes, son of the Duke of Luynes. Later, one of his companions came to offer d’Albert’s apologies. She went to his room and subsequently they became lovers and, later, lifelong friends.

Her voice was described by some as “the most beautiful voice in the world.”
She famously beat the singer Louis Gaulard Dumesny after he pestered the women members of the troupe.
Her career in Paris was interrupted after she attended a court ball and kissed a young woman on the dance floor, for which insult she was challenged to a duel by three men. She told each of them she would meet him outside, fought them all at once, and beat them all. But given that Louis had outlawed duels, she had to flee to Brussels. [x]
