In her diary, she argued that Jewish women who converted to Christianity upon marrying remained Jewish.[2] Furthermore, she disapproved of such inter-faith marriages.[3] Professor Catherine Nicault of the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne has argued that Castelbajac's views exemplified the way the French aristocracy was hostile towards Jews in the 19th century, who they viewed as parvenus.[2]
