After starting out professionally with Angers SCO in the second division, Viaud moved to AS Monaco FC, making his Ligue 1 debut on 23 July 1993 in a 0–1 away loss against FC Nantes.

At almost 30, in January 1999, Viaud moved abroad, playing one 1/2 seasons with lowly Extremadura CF, one in each major division. He then returned to France with second level's Stade Lavallois, then went back to Spain, appearing for another modest side, Albacete Balompié, again in La Liga and the second level.
