In 1974 Morain was in contact with the , and he took part in the "Pour qu’une force s’assemble" process which was intended to form a "left-wing workers'" movement with the ORA at its core. Although a succession of organisational reconfigurations took place over the next few years, it is not clear how far any of these corresponded with Morain's vision, however. Pierre and Suzanne Morain visited the Larzac plateau in 1976 in order to join in the demonstrations and other actions against government plans (subsequently abandoned) massively to extend a military base there (from 30 to 170 square kilometers) which reportedly would have necessitated the expropriation of 107 farms and 12 villages. The scale of the government plans meant that by now there was a large community of left-wing activists based in the area in order to oppose the development. The Moarains found themselves accepted and integrated into the local community and decided to relocated permanently to the Larzac, moving into an abandoned farmstead inside the proposed confines of the new "forbidden zone". They joined a local "buildings team" ("équipe du bâtiment ") to help upgrade the built environment. This is where they lived until shortly before Pierre Morain's death in 2013. They continued to involve themselves in left wing causes nationally and internationally, notably in support of oppressed members of Kanak, Nicaraguan and Palestinian communities.
