[[Bayard]] try a revival in 1956 with the [[Souverain de Luxe]] model, a streamlined pen, with [[hooded nib|covered nib]] and [[accordion filler]], produced with a metal cap.

Nel prosieguo degli anni '50 l'azienda subì un continuo calo di vendite dovuto all'introduzione della penna a sfera; cercò il rilancio nel 1956 con il modello [[Souverain de Luxe]], di forma affusolata, con pennino coperto e [[caricamento a fisarmonica]], prodotto anche con cappuccio metallico. Ormai però il mercato degli strumenti da scrittura era dominato dalle penne a sfera; vennero introdotti modelli minori, come la [[Bayard 20]], la [[Bayard 30]] e la [[Karting]] a cartuccia, ma il declino proseguì inesorabile, fino alla definitiva chiusura a metà degli anni '70.
