- Juliette Benzoni wrote from 1962 - 2016 all together 86 books. Her last book Le Vol du Sancy - des Carats pour Ava? (An Aldo Morosini adventure) appeared two weeks before she died on 7 February 2016 at the age of 95 years.
- The authors personal favorite was Prince Aldo Morosini from the Adventures of Aldo Morosini series. A fifteen book series which she started to write in 1994 - 2016. When asked in an interview 28 September 2010, whom she would like to meet for just one day. She said: Without doubts the * Marquise de Sommières, for the pleasure to live among people completely according to my heart. I would love to have Aldo Morosini as a nephew! Maybe also the cardinal of Richelieu: to see the effect of having the supreme power! But only for twenty four hours! -one of the characters in the Aldo Morosini adventures.
- When Juliette Benzoni in 1968 saw the first time the movie version of Catherine (after her book series Catherine, il suffit d'un amour 1963) with Olga Georges-Picot in the leading role, she cried like a fountain. She had been shocked how the producer had changed her story. Instead of a knight from the middle ages, the hero Arnaud de Montsalvy was all of a sudden a revolting student in Paris. The end product had nothing to do anymore with the original story - and flopped at the cinema.
