After the publication of Mirabeau's letters, she remarked, "Infatuated friends—Mirabeau at their head—gave me the flattering nickname Aspasia. That was at the time [Nicolas] Chamfort was smitten by a terrible fever of love I had sparked in him, without the least intention of doing so." Mirabeau died at Julie Talma's house on the Rue de la Chaussée d’Antin on 2 April 1791. The meetings organized by Madame de Lameth, Madame de Montmorin and Madame de Staël, and those held in the homes of Lucile Duplessis and Julie Talma, continued to play an essential role in the society of Paris after the revolution. Thomas Okey wrote,   A meeting at Julie Talma's home on 16 October 1792 had General Charles François Dumouriez, fresh from his victories in Belgium, as guest of honour. It was attended by leading Girondin politicians including Pierre Victurnien Vergniaud, Jacques Pierre Brissot and Jean-Baptiste Boyer-Fonfrède, accompanied by women of the stage. The comic mimic Fusil gave a performance. Amélie-Julie Candeille was singing at the piano when the doors burst open. The meeting was invaded by Jacobin members of the Committee of General Security led by Jean-Paul Marat, who denounced the general for keeping company with "such a collection of concubines and counter-revolutionaries". The next day the newspaper "L'Ami du peuple" proclaimed that citizen Marat had discovered a major conspiracy. After Talma had ruined Julie he separated from her in 1795, leaving her to raise the twins. Julie had to rent her house on the Rue Chantereine. The lease was taken by Joséphine de Beauharnais and Napoleon Bonaparte, who settled there before their wedding. The 26 year old Napoleon would visit Josephine there every evening. Three years later on 11 Germinal year VI (31 March 1798) Julie sold the house to Napoleon. Under the Directory Julie Talma lived apart from her husband in a small townhouse she shared with her close friend Sophie de Condorcet. She kept a small court of admirers, including Benjamin Constant. Her salon on the Rue Matignon was frequented by prominent republicans and ideologues such as Pierre Jean Georges Cabanis. She welcomed men who were suspect to the Directory such as Alexandre Rousselin de Saint-Albin, Marie-Joseph Chénier, Dominique Joseph Garat, Pierre-Louis Ginguené and Claude Charles Fauriel.
