Her research was centered on two themes: the relationship between aesthetics and ethics in literary work, and the question of the effects of meaning produced by the syntactic choices in modern and contemporary poetry.

"[4] As a very young girl, Bougault became passionate about the equestrian world and engaged in long distances travels on horseback.

That trip, with two Basuto ponies known for great stamina and courage, resulted in a written account of the adventure: Under the Eye of African Horses, published in French by Belin in 2003.

I think I fulfilled my mission as an “Amazon of peace” especially in Iran and Turkey where the people I met were surprised to see a Westerner who accepted their rules and who conveyed values that were theirs.
