The Count's Story
Count Eugène de Roussy de Sales (1817-1915) was the second of three sons of Prefect Félix de Roussy and Pauline de Sales. Upon his father's death, he was granted the title of Count of Thorens, his elder brother being the Marquis of Sales and the youngest the Baron of Trésun. A second lieutenant in the artillery, Eugène participated in the First Italian War of Liberation in 1848. As a captain, he left the army in opposition to the anti-clerical policies pursued by his cousin Cavour, head of the Sardinian government. He married a Frenchwoman, Renée de Brosse, in 1858, who died after only ten years of marriage. Eugène then devoted himself to transforming the Château de Thorens in the style of the period. With Savoy having become French, he rallied to Napoleon III because of his pro-Church policies and served as a general councillor for Haute-Savoie from 1861 to 1889. Under the Fourth Republic , he tirelessly denounced its anticlericalism and the cost of the colonial wars. Cavour having died a bachelor in 1861, his estate passed to his nephew Aynard. Aynard, also a bachelor and childless, died in 1875, naming his cousin Eugène de Roussy de Sales as his heir.
