Ludivine d'Isidoro - Quick Facts

A Career Built on Triplette

Ludivine d'Isidoro's pétanque career began in the Territoire de Belfort, playing for Société Bouliste Giromagny and Pétanque Offemontoise before a move to the Puy-de-Dôme in 2008 to join JC Cournon d'Auvergne. That switch paid off quickly: in 2010, she won her first major title, the European Championship women's triplette gold, playing alongside Anna Maillard, Angélique Colombet and Marie-Christine Virebayre. Four years later, still with JC Cournon d'Auvergne, she added a French Championship women's triplette title in 2014, partnering Audrey Bandiera and Sylviane Ramos.

She returned to the European podium in 2016, winning a second continental triplette gold with an updated lineup of Maillard, Colombet and Cindy Peyrot - a title that, combined with her 2010 win, makes d'Isidoro a two-time European champion in the same discipline a decade apart. In 2015 she also won the Mondial La Marseillaise à Pétanque, France's largest open tournament, teaming up with Bandiera and Colombet.

Back-to-Back French Titles, Twice Over

After moving to the Lyon area, d'Isidoro built a new triplette partnership that proved just as successful as her Cournon years. Representing the Rhône (reported in press coverage as Canuts de Lyon or CD69), she won the French Women's Triplette Championship in both 2021 and 2022, alongside Charlotte Darodes and Mouna Béji - the pair beat a Martinique team 13-4 in the 2022 final at Chalon-sur-Saône to retain the title they had won the year before.

With a new set of teammates, d'Isidoro kept winning: partnering Nadège Baussian-Protat and Mouna Béji, she won a third French triplette title in 2025, beating a Var team of Anna Maillard, Sandrine Poinsot and Cindy Peyrot 13-7 in the final. The same trio successfully defended the title in 2026 at Sin-le-Noble, giving d'Isidoro five documented French Championship triplette titles across three different partner combinations and more than a decade of competition. Full 2026 results, including Baussian-Protat and Béji's own doubles final the following month, are covered in our 2026 French Championships recap.

International Silver: The 2018 Mediterranean Games

D'Isidoro's best individual international result outside triplette came at the 2018 Mediterranean Games, where she partnered Angélique Colombet to win the silver medal in women's doublette - one of the highlights of a Mediterranean Games campaign that also featured several of her regular French national teammates.

Playing Style

D'Isidoro plays as a shooter (tireuse), a position she has held consistently across nearly two decades of top-level competition and three different club bases. Her results skew heavily toward triplette, the format in which nearly all of her major titles - French and European alike - have come, playing alongside a rotating cast of some of the most decorated names in French women's pétanque.

Legacy

Few players in French women's pétanque have won French Championship titles with as many different partner combinations as Ludivine d'Isidoro: five triplette titles across three separate teammates (Bandiera, then Darodes and Béji, then Baussian-Protat and Béji) and more than fifteen years between her first major title and her most recent. Combined with two European golds a decade apart, her career is a study in consistency across multiple eras of the French national setup, right through the 2025 and 2026 titles that kept her name on the French Championship honors board alongside the current generation.
