Diplomacy was St. Germain's primary mission. However, according to him, most of his diplomatic missions were often associated with King Louis XV's personal enquiries, which were to locate the neighboring kings' secret political affairs and their interests in the areas of development and expansion. Consequently, St. Germain became an important and unique personage with position and great influence on King Louis XV. His mission eventually evolved into a state of profound subject regarding issues of humanistic concerns that had not yet been revealed during his lifetime.
In exchange for conducting the King's private missions, St. Germain was offered prestige and status, and private residences in many regions, including an apartment in the French Courts; however most of his work, including significant documents, had been banished and destroyed by arson during the French Revolution.
On one occasion, St. Germain led me to retrace his footsteps in France, directing me on a path to locate his residence and the places where he often stayed during his lifetime. There is only one location visible, where evidence remains on public display at this time pertaining to the French government. In Le Chateau de Chambord, one can still observe the traces of his influence; St. Germain's apartment, which is located on the second floor of the north vestibule, is aligned with the center portion of the main facade close to the apartment of the King. St. Germain's well-known portrait is framed on the wall near the door of his apartment. It reads, "Celebrated Alchemist," and explains, "This apartment was offered by King Louis XV."
