Chevalier travelled to Russia to perform in 1797, when she became a mistress of Tsar Paul I. After his assassination she was asked to leave Russia by Alexander I, after which there were rumours of her being a courtesan and spy in Paris, Germany and Poland. Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre's 1788 novel, set on Mauritius, is a parable of the social divisions in French society on the eve of the Revolution.
