When the Second World War ended, Morand served as an ambassador in Bern, but his position was revoked and he lived in exile in Switzerland. Morand's reputation has been marred by his stance during the Second World War, when he collaborated with the Vichy regime and was a vocal anti-Semite. During the pre-war period, he wrote many short books which are noted for their elegance of style, erudition, narrative concision, and for the author's observation of the countries he visited combined with his middle-class views.
He was a graduate of the Paris Institute of Political Studies (better known as Sciences Po). Paul Morand was a French diplomat, novelist, playwright and poet, considered an early Modernist.
