Career
Didot was a youth player at Guingamp before moving to the CFA, first with GSI Pontivy and then with Brest. In 2003, he was part of the Brest side which won promotion from the CFA, through being champions of Group D.
In the summer of 2002, Didot signed for Ligue 2 team Toulouse FC. On 16 May 2003 he scored the goal which secured promotion for Toulouse FC to Ligue 1.
On 17 June 2004, with two years still remaining on his contract at Toulouse, Didot agreed to terminate the deal and signed for newly promoted Ligue 2 side Stade Reims. He was a regular player in four of his five seasons with Stade Reims. In October 2006 he suffered a serious leg injury, which prevented him from playing for the rest of the season.
With Stade Reims relegated to the Championnat National at the end of the 2008–09 season, Didot left the club and signed for newly promoted CFA side US Avranches on a two-year contract. He was made club captain for his last match on 29 May 2010.
In June 2011, Didot signed for Stade Briochin as Player-coach. He guided the club to successive promotions from Ligue de Bretagne Division Supérieure Élite (seventh tier) to the CFA. In 2013, he retired from playing to concentrate on coaching the team.
