Jules Jean-Baptiste François de Chardebœuf

The following year, Jules and the rest of his family fled France to join him in London.

[2] Jules would remain there until 1814; returning shortly after the beginning of the Restoration, to claim his title.

During the reign of Louis XVIII, he was First Chamberlain, Master of the Wardrobe, and Director General of the Ministry of the Maison du Roi.

In that position, he was also involved in the affairs of the Louvre, the Musée du Luxembourg, the Théâtre Français, and the Paris Opera.

He died at the Château de Villesavin, which is now an historical monument; housing several small museums.
