[1] Rochefort wrote a book, Mémoires d'un vaudevilliste in which he recounts his adventures in La Réunion and the literary relationships he had with some writers of his time.
In 1819 he was private secretary of Monsieur Millius, Governor of the Reunion Island.
But lacking the necessary training, he returned to France in 1822 to marry Marie-Nicole Morel.
However, the letters patent of the King and the Accounts Chamber have never been found.
Gabriel Jean Dominique de Rochefort became head of the family when his uncle, Charles, died without issue.
