Turgy rose from being a simple servant at Versailles to a role as trusted confidant and defender of the Royal Family.

In 1795 he accompanied the king's daugher; Marie-Thérèse de France; into exile in Austria. She later married her first cousin; the Duc d'Angouleme; son of Louis XVIII who ennobled Turgy and appointed him first valet to the Duchess. She paid for his gravestone.
