2017

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]

Devillard began her season with a bronze medal on vault at the Doha World Cup.

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]
