Reims

Born in Reims, [2] Chossenotte started playing football with FC Sillery before joining Stade de Reims' under-13 squad in 2017. [3] While a member of Reims' youth academy, she was able to play in 4 matches with the club's Division 1 Feminine team during the 2021–22 season. On 15 July 2022, Chossenotte signed her first professional contract with Reims' senior team. [4] She made 10 appearances (5 starts) in her first season of first-team football. [5]

Chossenotte kicked off her second professional season with Reims on a good note, scoring a brace in the club's season-opening victory over AS Saint-Étienne. [6] She went on to record 23 appearances and 5 goals across the campaign. [7] In August 2024, Chossenotte announced her departure from Reims after 7 years with the club. [7]

Leicester City

On 28 August 2024, Chossenotte joined English Women's Super League club Leicester City on a three-year contract. [8] In doing so, she reunited with former Reims coach Amandine Miquel and teammate Noémie Mouchon, both of whom also moved to Leicester City over the summer. [9] Leicester opened its 2024–25 campaign with four straight winless league games before beating Everton on 20 October 2024, 1–0. It was Chossenotte who ultimately assisted Yūka Momiki's goal that lifted Leicester to its first victory of the season. [10] In March 2025, Chossenotte scored her first WSL goal, netting the eventual game-winner in a 3–2 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion. Despite struggling with injuries at multiple points in the season, [11] Chossenotte managed to total 21 appearances across all competitions in her first campaign with Leicester. [5]

In May 2024, Chossenotte received her first minutes with the under-20 national team in the Sud Ladies Cup.
