Koh-Lanta[]

For the group section of the opening sudden death challenge, Louis-Laurent was partnered with Alexandre Amico, Rodolphe Assi, Joëlle Bourlier, Fabienne Lefebvre-Trehoux, and Marine Mocellin. After the group transitioned into the individual section of this challenge, Louis-Laurent was the first man to arrive at the finish line with his staff and was safe. Additionally, Louis-Laurent and the first woman to arrive at the finish line with her staff, Kaouther Ferdjani, won a reward, which was an overnight stay with a fisherman to learn basic survival techniques. Each given the right to choose someone of the opposite gender from the remaining active contestants to join them, Kaouther and Louis-Laurent selected Freddy Boucher and Marine, respectively. Before the tribe composition the next day, Denis Brogniart revealed to the contestants that Myriam Desvergne, who had been temporarily evacuated from the game two days before after having injured her ankle during the sudden death challenge, had been permanently evacuated and eliminated from the game the day before as it was determined that she had fractured her ankle. He added that, because of this, Anthony Parra would reenter the game in her place. Louis-Laurent was assigned by Marine to be a member of the Mawaï tribe and they immediately competed in the first Immunity Challenge. Though the Koror tribe had maintained a strong lead throughout the challenge, the Mawaï tribe succeeded in catching up near the end and winning the challenge.

When the Koror tribe won the first Reward Challenge, they were rewarded with fire. Having fire allowed the Koror tribe to improve upon their diet and this, along with strategic mistakes made by Pascal Nickert and Anthony during the second Immunity Challenge, contributed to the Mawaï tribe losing the second Immunity Challenge. Upon returning to camp, Rodolphe, Fabienne, and Claire Rolet went exploring in order to find something to eat. Unfortunately, the trio got lost and had to spend the night away from the rest of their tribe in a storm, but conversely, they had found an abandoned fishing shelter to sleep in and a bunch of bananas to bring back to their tribemates the next day. The rest of the tribe went looking for the trio and vice versa the next morning and the tribe was reunited. With Tribal Council taking place that evening, the Mawaï tribe openly discussed who between Anthony and Claire was the weakest link in challenges. While Claire remained passive and did not say anything, Anthony opted to defend himself and got heated at times. At Tribal Council, the majority of the Mawaï tribe voted against Anthony instead of Claire mainly because of his status as the last person to arrive at the tribe composition, eliminating him from the game for good. Going into the next cycle, the Mawaï tribe lost the second Reward Challenge, Hot Pursuit, which they once again blamed on poor strategy. After Rodolphe, Louis-Laurent, and Pascal finished building their tribe's raft for the third Immunity Challenge, the Mawaï tribe received fire from production as it was deemed that they needed intervention since they were very malnourished. In spite of their newfound energy from their improved diet, the Mawaï lost the third Immunity Challenge the next day. At the corresponding Tribal Council, Denis Brogniart criticized the Mawaï tribe for not learning from their strategic mistakes as they lost four challenges consecutively, placing the blame on poor strategy each time. He then instructed the tribe to designate one of their own as their leader, to which they agreed upon Rodolphe. As for the vote, though Pascal received a few votes due to him feeling sick, the majority of the tribe voted against Claire because they still considered her their weakest link.

The fourth Reward Challenge began on Day 10 and consisted of going on a trek to retrieve as many bags as possible, which would be returned to the starting line on Day 11. Just before the Mawaï tribe was about to settle down for the night of this challenge, Kaouther sprained her foot. Though she decided to persist in spite of her injury throughout the remainder of the challenge, her injury affected her performance somewhat. On Day 11, the two tribes returned forty bags each to Denis Brogniart, who stated that both tribes have won the challenge as a result. The reward for this challenge was the right to permanently kidnap one of the members of the opposite tribe as part of a tribe switch. The Mawaï tribe chose Freddy and the Koror tribe chose Louis-Laurent. Louis-Laurent bonded well with his new tribemates, especially Alexandre, and he became more well-liked by the Koror tribe than Freddy after Freddy declared that he was a proud Mawaï tribe member at the fourth Immunity Challenge the next day. The Koror tribe lost the fourth Immunity Challenge and Denis Brogniart revealed to them that Tribal Council would be taking place right there and then. Marine, who had voted earlier from the infirmary in the event that the Koror tribe lost, voted against Raphaële Navarro for her lack of affinity with her. In the confusion of the sudden Tribal Council, Isabelle Da Silva and Raphaële turned on each other for similar reasons, however, the men were able to stay united and voted out Christina Chevry, who they deemed was too quiet in spite of being good in challenges. When Marine was permanently evacuated and eliminated from the game on Day 13 after she was deemed medically unfit to continue competing, Christina returned to the game in her place. The Koror tribe won both challenges in the next cycle.

Before the tribes merged, Isabelle and Fabienne were selected as the Ambassadors for their respective tribes. Like in the previous season, the Ambassadors had to eliminate someone instead of simply casting a vote against someone. With Fabienne refusing to agree upon eliminating Freddy or any of her fellow original Mawaï tribemates and Isabelle initially taking a similar stance concerning her own allies, it seemed that Isabelle and Fabienne would be having to face a rock draw in order to decide who amongst themselves would be eliminated instead. However, Isabelle decided to offer Alexandre's name just before the Ambassadors were to draw rocks, feeling that he did not deserve to stay in the game as much as everybody else and that he was not worth potentially being eliminated over. Fabienne agreed to this and Alexandre was eliminated from the game. After Isabelle and Fabienne returned to camp and broke the news, Louis-Laurent cried over the sudden elimination of his friend and the majority of the other contestants commented to each other that they felt that Isabelle was selfish and had failed to live up to her duty as an Ambassador, with only Patrick Merle openly stating that he understood her decision and likely would have done something similar in her place. Nobody was eliminated at the merged tribe's first Tribal Council, but the next cycle, Alexandre rejoined the merged tribe after finding a stone ring hidden on the island where the tribe composition took place on Day 3. However, when Alexandre was permanently evacuated and eliminated from the game on Day 21 after having cracked his nose during the second individual Immunity Challenge, Kader Rebaï returned to the game in his place with immunity at the upcoming Tribal Council. When Patrick tried to convince the second Koror tribe members to stay strong and vote together against Pascal, they all agreed except for Louis-Laurent, who did not want to work with Isabelle considering her role in Alexandre's first elimination. Instead, Louis-Laurent made plans with the second Mawaï tribe members, with the exception of Kader, to vote against Isabelle. Concerned about the numbers, Patrick made attempts to convince Freddy and Kader to vote with his allies against Pascal. When Patrick realized that Kader was committed to this new alliance but that Freddy was likely to vote with the other alliance, he instructed his allies to vote against Freddy instead of Pascal, reminding them about his treasonous attitude after he had been kidnapped by the Mawaï tribe. At Tribal Council, Patrick's alliance of himself, Christina, Isabelle, Raphaële, and Kader voted against Freddy while the rival alliance of Rodolphe, Freddy, Fabienne, Louis-Laurent, and Pascal voted against Isabelle. This resulted in a tied vote and the contestants had to revote. Since nobody changed their vote on the revote, Freddy and Isabelle had to draw rocks. Freddy drew the black rock and was eliminated, leaving Rodolphe's alliance in the minority.

At the Final Nine, in the first round of the second individual Reward Challenge, Buggin' Out, Louis-Laurent lost to Isabelle and Kader. He was eliminated from the challenge as Isabelle and Kader selected Rodolphe and Raphaële to be each other's partners in the second round. Realizing that their alliance was now open to being pagonged by Patrick's alliance, Rodolphe and Pascal made attempts to flip Kader over to their side throughout the cycle, with Rodolphe even promising to take him to the Final Two. However, Kader refused, claiming that he was too much in conflict with Fabienne for this to happen and that Patrick's alliance had not yet betrayed him unlike the second Mawaï tribe members. At Tribal Council, Rodolphe's alliance voted against Kader because they felt that his decision to stick with Patrick's alliance was treasonous, but this did not affect anything as Patrick's alliance voted out Pascal because they had less affinity with him than the rest of his allies. The next cycle, Louis-Laurent earned the ire of Patrick after the former opted to relax instead of collecting the Tree Mail summoning the contestants to the next Reward Challenge. This, along with Louis-Laurent's evident challenge prowess, put a target on his back concerning who Patrick's alliance might vote out next in their pagonging of Rodolphe's alliance. Meanwhile, Rodolphe's alliance, understanding that they were essentially dead people walking, planned to burn their votes on Kader at every Tribal Council going forward for the same reason as in the previous cycle and for relaxing in the water with Patrick during a storm while the rest of the tribe was moving their wood out of the rain. After losing the fourth individual Immunity Challenge to Raphaële, Louis-Laurent was voted out by most of Patrick's alliance at the corresponding Tribal Council. The sole member of this alliance who did not vote against Louis-Laurent was Raphaële, who voted against Rodolphe instead. This was because the rest of Patrick's alliance had kept her in the dark about their true target, telling her that their target was Rodolphe, because they felt that she had grown too close to the members of Rodolphe's alliance, especially Louis-Laurent.
