During the French Revolution, the convent was closed, and the nuns accept the hospitality of the Benedictines of Calvary in Quimper (on the site of the current Lycée Chaptal). In June 1792, Victoire returned to her family, residing at the castle of Bot, Quimerc'h, where her father had settled in 1775 after resigning his office in the Parliament of Brittany. Practicing devotion to the Sacred Heart, she had painted pictures and insignia like those worn by many Vendée insurgents, and which she had also given to a sympathizer of the rebellion. This incriminated her as a rebel sympathizer, and she was suspected for knowingly having contact with the rebels and for being a supporter of the uprising. In 1793, she was arrested and interned in Carhaix prison, where she spends her time in prayer, consoling other prisoners, reading, embroidery, and writing.
