Juvisy finished as D1 runners up in 2004–05 and won the French Cup, beating Olympique Lyonnais in the final. After a 1–1 draw, the match was decided on penalty shoot-out, with Guilbert converting Juvisy's sixth shot, on their 5–4 win.

She won the D1 for a second time in 2005–06 and played two matches in the 2006–07 UEFA Women's Cup. She reached the quarter-finals of the 2010–11 UEFA Women's Champions League and the semi-finals of the 2012–13 UEFA Women's Champions League.

After eighteen seasons playing for Juvisy, including over 300 matches played in all competitions, Guilbert and Amélie Coquet retired from football at the end of the 2015–16 season.
