Delegated to the provisional consultive assembly, he was then appointed to the two national constituent assemblies as a member of the French Communist Party, then to the French National Assembly from 1946. He was constantly re-elected in Allier until 1978 (except during the 1962 - 1967 term when his seat was occupied by the socialist Charles Magne, mayor of Gannat). He was also an active member of the Peace Movement.
He was the husband of Marie-Claude Vaillant-Couturier.
