During one of his concert tours to Russia, Adrien François Servais met his future wife Sophie Feygin. She was born in Saint Petersburg in 1820, the daughter of a steward of Tsar Nicolas I. She died in Ixelles in 1893, 27 years after her famous husband. Later writings show that during the many trips abroad she often acted as his impresario and negotiated the amount for a concert in his name. She bore François Servais six children: Sophie, Franz, Joseph, Marie, Anna and Augusta.
