He published his first book, Thi-Bâ, fille d'Annam, in 1920, for which he was awarded Prix de Jouy by the Académie Française.[2] D'Esme became known for his adventure novels, most notably Les Dieux Rouges, published in English as The Red Gods.[3] He has also written numerous biographies, mostly of colonial military heroes, and a number of books for children.
In 1936, d'Esme produced the film La Grande Caravane in location of eastern Niger, about the journey of a caravan to the salt mines of Bilma. In the same year, during Spanish Civil War, d'Esme was imprisoned for filming in prohibited areas. In 1941, he directed the film Quatre de demain in Ramatuelle at the request of Vichy France.
