In 2006, second division partner Celtic Marseille brought the 18-year-old to the south of France, from where she signed Racing Saint-Étienne a year later . Houara stayed with this club until 2009 and developed into a midfielder who has her strengths in the defensive area, where she can be used centrally, but also on both sides. At the same time, you always get your own goals. However, she could not win national titles with the RCSÉ. In 2009 she moved to the capital club Paris Saint-Germain , with which she won the national cup in 2010 and has been runner-up a total of four times since 2011. In the Champions League 2014/15 she reached the final with Paris, but lost 1: 2 against 1. FFC Frankfurt .

Jessica Houara d'Hommeaux left the capital in the summer of 2016 and joined Olympique Lyon . With Lyon, she won the title triple of championship, national and European cup in 2016/17. But of all things, she was not used in the French Champions League final against Paris SG, after she had previously played seven games in this competition. In 2018, the club did not extend her contract, especially since the defender had to undergo two cruciate ligament operations on the same knee within eight months and was only able to play three point and one cup games for Lyon in her second season. Whether and at which club Houara d'Hommeaux, who has taken up a part-time job as an expert at Canal + , will be able to continue her sport at a high level has not yet been determined at the beginning of the 2018/19 season .
