He remained in Grenoble until Pope Benedict XV appointed him Archbishop of Lyon on 1 December 1916.[https://cardinals.fiu.edu/bios1916.htm Florida International University website, The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church, Biographical Dictionary of Pope Benedict XV (1914-9122), Consistory of December 4, 1916 (II)] Three days later he was created and proclaimed Cardinal-Priest of SS. Trinità al Monte Pincio. Cardinal Maurin voted in the conclave of 1922 that elected Pope Pius XI.
He died in office on 16 November 1936 and he is buried in the metropolitan cathedral of Lyon.
