In April 1888, she went by boat to Palestine with a group of pilgrims.[12] After a stop in Italy where she visited Rome, and one in Crète, the pilgrim's boat dropped anchor in Haifa. Accompanied by her brother Maurice (1840-1909) and her sister Isabelle (1847-1889), they departed on horseback, for a month to tour the country. During this time she wrote Chevauchée en Palestine (1889).[13] After the trip, she published Mois du Sacré-Cœur de Terre Sainte (1890).[14]

Two years later, in 1890, she travelled by rail in Haute-Bavière, to help with the Oberammergau Passion Play, which has taken place since 1634 and which, every two years, involves a large part of the population. She described the event in great detail in her work Le drame d’Oberammergau (1891).[15]

She travelled as well to Egypt, which resulted in the publication of Jérusalem, cinq ans après. Une fuite en Égypte (1893).[16] In Khartoum, in 1907, she met the writer Pierre Loti at the Luxor Temple.[17] In 1912, she published Croquis d'Égypte et de Nubie, which was reviewed in Les Annales politiques et littéraires[18]

In addition to her travel writing, she published a biographical essay on Jeanne d’Arc titled Figure Exquise (1895),[19][20] and three theatre pieces: L’idée de Colette (1897), Os de Poulet (1897) et Trèfle à quatre feuilles.
