After 1945, Czechoslovak-French relationships could have reassumed a long-lasting tradition, although France's participation in the Munich Conference damaged mutual relationships. The post-war reality and change of political system in Czechoslovakia after February 1948 gave the relationship an entirely new character. A general stagnation between 1948 and 1954, when Czechoslovakia disrupted official cultural collaboration with France, was succeeded with a brief revival of cultural and educational activities, which, however, froze again in 1959. A new impulse to improvement of relationships in all spheres came in the mid-60s, when France solved its complicated internal political situation and changed its foreign policy. This resulted in normalising cultural relations and signing several official agreements, i.e. a cultural protocol of 1964 and cultural agreements signed in October 1967, which formed a framework for mutual cultural and educational collaboration. The promising improvement of Czechoslovak-French contacts was severed by military occupation of Czechoslovakia in October 1968, which was followed by a new downfall. The air of fear, which dominated the Czechoslovak society, forbade restoration of openness and mutuality, which had existed in Czechoslovak-French relations since the second half of the 60s.

The diplomatic relations between Czechoslovakia and France saw a dramatic decline after February 1948. The involvement of several French diplomats in the preparation of escape of J. Sramek and F. Hala impaired the mutual relations of both countries already in spring 1948. The people's democratic Czechoslovakia, whose foreign policy was now controlled from Moscow, systematically reduced the diplomatic representation of capitalist states in its territory. In 1951, after a secret police intervention, the French consulate in Bratislava was closed, and in a couple of weeks only the embassy in either country's capital remained, dealing with the most urgent matters only. The main focus of mutual relations moved over to the unofficial level of contacts between the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia and the Communist Party of France. Starting from 1954, Czechoslovakia restored the official contacts with the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the rapprochement efforts culminated with a 1956 agreement on exchange of parliament delegations. Further development of mutual relations, however, was interrupted by the events taking place in Hungary and Egypt in autumn 1956. As a result, the relations just restored declined and reached the freezing point again.
