De Saint-Amand's scholarly pursuits largely revolved around the figures and the socio-political intricacies of French royalty and aristocracy. His passion for historical narratives is evident in his writing style, which manages to deftly combine the accuracy of historical accounts with the engaging prose of storytelling. Imbert de Saint-Amand's book 'The Duchess of Berry and the Court of Charles X' delves into the politically turbulent era following the fall of Napoleon, examining the lives of those associated with the Bourbon Restoration.
