In July 2014, Lauriault was paired with French skater Romain Le Gac, who had just moved to Canada.[4][2] The two decided to represent France. They are coached by Romain Haguenauer, Patrice Lauzon, Pascal Denis, and Marie-France Dubreuil in Montreal.[1]

Lauriault/Le Gac decided to compete on the junior level in 2015–16. They won two medals on the Junior Grand Prix (JGP) series — silver in Linz, Austria and gold in Logroño, Spain. Their results gave them a spot at the JGP Final in Barcelona, where they finished fifth. In February 2016, they won gold at the French Junior Championships ahead of Angélique Abachkina / Louis Thauron. In March, they represented France at the 2016 World Junior Championships in Debrecen, Hungary, placing third in the short dance and 8th overall.
