Biography
He was born in Lausanne in the canton of Vaud and was educated at the University of Lausanne. He taught briefly in nearby Aubonne, and then in Weimar, Germany. In 1903, he left for Paris and remained there until World War I, with frequent trips home to Switzerland. As part of his studies in Paris he wrote a thesis on the poet Maurice de Guérin.[1] In 1903, he published Le petit village, a collection of poems.[citation needed]
In 1914, he returned to Switzerland.[citation needed]
He wrote the libretto for Igor Stravinsky's Histoire du soldat.[citation needed]
He died in Pully, near Lausanne in 1947.[1] His likeness and an artistic impression of his works appear on the 200 Swiss franc note (no longer in current use).[citation needed]
The Foundation C.F. Ramuz in Pully awards the Grand Prix C. F. Ramuz.[citation needed]

Corinna Bille was a script editor on the film, after which she moved to Paris with Vital and married him.[3] The movie is best known for the musical score by Arthur Honegger.
In 1998,[4] Swiss director Francis Reusser adapted Ramuz's 1915 novel La Guerre dans le Haut Pays into a film titled War in the Highlands, starring French actress Marion Cotillard.[5]
