In 1956 Lottman moved to Paris where he briefly attempted to pursue a career as a novelist.

He also worked for ''Publishers Weekly'' as a writer for four decades.〔
In 1991 Lottman was appointed Chevalier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, and was later made an Officer in 1996. He died at his home in Paris at the age of 87 and is buried at the Montparnasse Cemetery.〔
