He played a minor role in the run-up to events of May 1968 in France. On 8 January 1968, Missoffe was forced by students at the Paris West University Nanterre La Défense to abandon the inauguration of a campus swimming pool. He was interrupted while making his speech at the occasion by student leader, Daniel Cohn-Bendit in order to demand free access to the girls' dormitory.
Missoffe was Ambassador to Japan from 1964 to 1966.[2]
