In 1850 Aurélie published La Valachie moderne (Modern Wallachia), based on a trip she had made to this country. She sketched the appearance and customs of people, including the ordinary people and the lords isolated in their country homes. Her account was generally positive, but did not gloss over problems. A reviewer said, "... we regret that the author did not give more development to this sketch, which could have offered real interest; her style also leaves much to be desired; it lacks grace and naturalness; it is cut in little phrases that are somewhat affected and unattractive.Шаблон:Sfn Her 1858 La Valachie devant l'Europe (Wallachia before Europe) was criticized for giving no more than a view of the social life of the wealthy, and avoiding all discussion of the very real political issues at the time.Шаблон:Sfn

She died on 21 March 1904.Шаблон:Sfn
