With Alice Weiwers as her partner, she won the doubles' event at the Tournoi de France, a stand-in tournament in place of the French Championships three times during World War II.[2] With Weiwers, she also reached the semifinals before the war at the 1939 French Championships, where they lost to the eventual champions Jadwiga Jędrzejowska and Simonne Mathieu.
