In 1952, he completed construction of the [[Saclay Nuclear Research Centre]] in the Paris suburb of Essonne.  He described this campus as a "small Versailles for nuclear research".  Most of France's early nuclear reactors were constructed within the site.

His other major postwar projects included the reconstruction of the center of the port of [[Le Havre]], which had been almost totally destroyed during the war.  His first plan was rejected as too ambitious, but his modified plans were followed. He also participated in the postwar reconstruction of the [[Marseille]] port and of [[Amiens]].

His last major work, finished after his death, was the [[St. Joseph's Church, Le Havre]], (1951–58) whose most prominent feature is its tower, like a lighthouse, 107 meters high, and visible at sea.{{Sfn|Poisson|2009|pages=299-301}}
