2017

[edit]

Devillard was selected to compete at the 2017 European Championships, and she became the first French gymnast to win the European title on vault.[14] She then won the gold on vault at the Paris World Cup.[15] At the World Championships, Devillard fell on one of her vaults in the qualification and did not make it into the event final.[16]

2018

Devillard began her season with a bronze medal on vault at the Doha World Cup.[17] At the National Championships, she placed sixth in the all-around and won silver on vault despite falling on both vaults.[18] At the Sainté Gym Cup, Devillard won gold medals with the team and on vault, and she won a bronze medal on floor.[19] Devillard was selected to compete with Juliette Bossu, Marine Boyer, Lorette Charpy, and Melanie de Jesus dos Santos at the 2018 European Championships, and the team won a silver medal.[20] Individually, Devillard finished sixth on vault.[21] Devillard could not go to the World Championships because of an ankle injury.[22]

I succeeded on both of my vaults. One could always do better, but I’ve come back, and I’ve repeated a medal... Given that [Paseka's] start value was mega high, with two-tenths more than mine, she was automatically the favorite. And she did her job. But I am also going to augment my difficulty value next year, and we’ll see who will win."[26]

On 3 September Devillard was named to the team to compete at the 2019 World Championships in Stuttgart, Germany alongside Lorette Charpy, Marine Boyer, Mélanie de Jesus dos Santos, and Aline Friess.[27] She later had to withdraw due to an ankle injury.[28]
