He was born in 1925, and served in the French Army, specifically in the 2nd Hussard Regiment in the Second World War (Until 1945). He began to write quite early in his life. His first novel, Les Épées (The Swords) was published in 1948, when he was only 23.

He was the leader of the Hussards, a literary group which included notably Antoine Blondin, Michel Déon and Jacques Laurent, opposed to existentialism. He was opposed to the figure of the "engaged writer" symbolized by Jean-Paul Sartre. His most famous work is considered to be Le Hussard bleu published in 1950. Nimier also wrote in monarchist review La Nation française.

He also worked with director Louis Malle on the screenplay for Malle's 1958 film Ascenseur pour l'échafaud.

Quotes by Roger Nimier (?)

“Il faut vivre sous le signe d’une désinvolture panique, ne rien prendre au sérieux, tout prendre au tragique.”

“Je considère ces ouvriers qui passent des heures à grossir leurs muscles en soulevant des pierres ou en portant des sacs comme des types déloyaux: ils s'entraînent, pendant que je lis Saint-Simon.”

“Les vieillards qui se laissent aller en promenant autour d'eux un regard dégoûté, ce n'est pas une mort, c'est de la merde qui fout le camp par le tuyau de vidange, avec un grand coup d'eau bénite par-dessus. La vraie mort, ça saigne et ça gueule ; c'est de l'assassinat, pas de la fatigue.”
― Roger Nimier, Les épées
