Like most members of the Maison de Broglie , the Countess Jean de Pange displayed liberal opinions, both politically and religiously.
Her book How I Seen 1900 is a source of information about the aristocratic society of the Belle Époque , the world to which she belonged and which she could describe with great humor, "brushing" good portraits, including that of her Grandfather Matthew Louis d'Armaillé (ca. 1822-1882), a great collector of antique furniture and art objects, and a clever "truqueur", a friend of Richard Wallace and the curator of the Louvre Museum , Both de Tauzia , Who had him appointed member of the Superior Council of Fine Arts. Part of his collection was sold by his heirs when they left Paris to settle in the family castle of Broglie (Eure) :
"... My mother had stayed in Paris in order to, I believe, proceed to the catalog sale of a lot of furniture from the collection of Armaillé [...]. The word had raised the price of furniture and woodwork on the ground floor (from the family hotel at 40, rue de La Boetie), which had also to be separated. "
