 While her sister returned to Turin after the peace between France and Savoy in May, Marie Joséphine continued to Austria and settled with Marguerite de Gourbillon in Budweis in August 1796, while Louis Stanislaus moved to Blankenburg.During this period of exile, the count and countess fought constantly, though they did keep regular correspondence.Some historians have suggested Marie Joséphine's possible relationship with Marguerite de Gourbillon was the primary cause, while others have named Louis Stanislaus' relationship with Anne de Balbi.
