Until January 2007 he played for Saint-Étienne; when his club turned down a € 5.5 million offer from Olympique Lyon , Piquionne refused to continue playing for the Verts and threatened to quit professional football altogether.

The club then loaned him to AS Monaco for one million euros until the summer of 2007 . The Monegasque also had an option to commit Piquionne for an additional six million euros beyond the end of the season. This option was drawn, in the new season Piquionne scored seven goals in 32 games.

For the 2008/09 season, Piquionne moved to Olympique Lyon for a fee of 4.7 million euros. There he received jersey number 39 and had a contract until 2012.

After 34 league appearances and five goals for the professional team as well as one use and two goals for the second team, he returned to France at the end of the season. On July 16, 2010, he signed a three-year deal with West Ham United .

After more than 50 competitive appearances with the Hammers and a short loan with the Doncaster Rovers, he signed with the Portland Timbers in the USA in the winter of 2013 .

National team

Instead of the FIFA -recognized New Caledonian national team aground, is Piquionne decided with the national team of Martinique at the CONCACAF 2003 to participate.
