In November 1908, he married Jeanne Sestié and settled for 30 years in Vétraz, near Annemasse. In 1937, he returned to his country and bought for 10,000 francs a cottage by the lake in Versoix.
Albert Rheinwald will say in an article he wrote on the occasion of the exhibition of Morard's works at the Rath Museum, in 1951: "... From the moment he chose to live by our little sea the lake, all his work is indeed a hymn to light ... "
