Born in Provence in a wealthy bourgeois family. Morras was one of the representatives of that militant nationalism , which in France before the war proclaimed the slogan of the national renaissance . In French literature this trend was represented by the so-called “ Romanesque school ”, its reactionary theories, testifying to the crisis of capitalism and bourgeois democracy, to the disappointment in parliamentarism and science , which was opposed by religion . In 1899 he organized the monarchist group " Axion Frances " ("French Action"), and in 1908 - a newspaper under the same name with Leon Daudet .
Morras preached the benevolence of hereditary monarchy and Catholicism as an organization, asserting the superiority of the " Latin race " over other peoples according to the classical 17th century meaning of the word, and not in the modern sense. He himself was an agnostic.
During the Second World War, he remained deaf to the current state of affairs, supported Marshal Peten , who shaped the policies of the Vichy regime . He acted as an anti-Semite among friends, but was also an anti-Germanist, although he was silent about this until the fall of the Third Reich.
