Members of the salon Doublet were against what they saw as rococo degeneracy and advocated for a strict and moralistic classicism. Doublet herself was a critique of rococo art; she and Bachaumont helped foster the classicist revival in the Academy in the 1740s and 1750s. A central figure of the salon Doublet was Jean-Baptiste de La Curne de Sainte-Palaye.
