Answer
The French Restoration, from 1814 to 1830, indeed marked the end of Madame de Staël's political life. With the return of the Bourbon monarchy, she faced increasing censorship and political repression. Fearful for her safety and that of her family, she chose to relocate to Coppet, Switzerland, effectively putting an end to her active involvement in French politics.
