In 2008, she played (only the singles events of) five tournaments (all of them in France and four of them in the last four months of the year) on the ITF Circuit.[1]
From 2009 onwards, Georges started to play more regularly; she played in the singles events of 23 tournaments on the 2009 ITF Women's Circuit.[1]
Georges made her WTA Tour doubles debut at the 2010 Internationaux de Strasbourg after receiving a main-draw wild card; she and her partner Émilie Bacquet lost in the first round to the top-seeded pair of Chuang Chia-jung and Lucie Hradecká, 1–6, 3–6.[1]

In the first round of the 2016 French Open, she defeated world No. 67 Christina McHale, 6–7, 6–0, 6–3, to register her first career-win over a player ranked in the top 100 of the WTA singles rankings, before losing in the second round to the No. 4 seed Garbiñe Muguruza, 2–6, 0–6 in 53 minutes.[2][3]
