Brûlart resumed the duties of her office again and retained them until her death. Her husband left memoirs of the couple's life at court, leaving many interesting observations of the royal family, and of the king's mistress, Madame de Pompadour, whom the duke and duchess appear to have grown to respect over a period of time, though this grudging admiration did not affect the duchess's friendship or loyalty to Queen Marie Leszczyńska. Madame de Luynes died aged 79, and was the mother, by her second marriage, of Marie Charles Louis d'Albert, duc de Chevreuse (1717–1771).
