Later Life and Death
After the House Subcommittee on Un-American Activities hearing, Chevalier lost his job at Berkeley in 1950 and was unable to find another professorship in the United States and thus moved to France, where he continued to work as a translator.
Chevalier returned to the United States briefly in July 1965 to attend his daughter's wedding in San Francisco.
Chevalier died in 1985 in Paris at the age of 83. The cause of death was not reported.
Chevalier's letters, discovered after his death, form the basis for several books about Oppenheimer.
