Early career at Toulouse FC
Viguier began her career at age six playing for US Laissac-Bertholène in her hometown commune of Bertholène. After an eight-year stint at the club, she joined FCF Lioujas-La Loubière in nearby La Loubière. Viguier later joined the biggest women's club in the Midi-Pyrénées département, Toulouse FC, known then as Toulouse OAC.

Toulouse also reached the semi-finals of the 2001–02 UEFA Women's Cup. Following the increase in competition from rivals Juvisy, Toulouse's stranglehold on the league came to an end and, following the 2005–06 season, Viguier moved to Montpellier HSC who had just completed back-to-back championship runs in 2004 and 2005.

Domestically, she made 20 league appearances scoring two goals. In the Challenge de France, Viguier appeared in all five matches the team contested as Montpellier reached the final for the second consecutive season.
