She married Georges Jacques Danton on 14 June 1787 at the church of l'Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois à Paris.

[3] The marriage resulted in the births of four children:[4] François-Georges Danton and his exact contemporary Horace Camille Desmoulins (1792–1825) were raised by a wet-nurse from L'Isle-Adam.

On his return to Paris on 17 February 1793, Georges Danton found an artiste from the faubourg Saint-Marceau, the sculptor Claude André Deseine, who was deaf and mute, and took him (in exchange for a bundle of assignats), to the Sainte-Catherine cemetery where his wife was buried.

In the middle of the night, with the cemetery caretaker's aide, Georges Danton had his wife Antoinette Gabrielle disinterred and her coffin opened, covering her with kisses and imploring her to pardon him for his many sexual indiscretions, and had a death mask taken.

[11] The mortuary bust of Antoinette Gabrielle Danton, which caused a scandal when first exhibited in the year of her death, is now visible in the museum in Troyes in Aube.
