Zofia saw Marie Antoinette at Petit Trianon, which at that time was being rebuilt in a landscaped park. This was possibly what inspired Zofia later in life to create a similar park. Reportedly, Marie Antoinette was charmed by her and spoke of Zofia as her adopted daughter. While staying in Paris, Zofia became the lover of both of the French king's brothers; the Count of Provence, later King Louis XVIII, and the Comte d'Artois, the future French king Charles X respectively.
