Due to the New Caledonia's status as an overseas territory of France, Grangeon competes for New Caledonia in regional (Pacific) competitions and for France in continental and global competitions. At the 2011 Pacific Games in Nouméa, New Caledonia, Grangeon entered all twenty women's events (including one open water event) and won a medal in all of them, including sixteen golds. At the 2007 and 2011 Games, Grangeon swam on several relay teams together with Diane Bui Duyet, who also represents both France and New Caledonia.

At the 2015 European Short Course Championships in Netanya, Israel, Grangeon broke the French record in the 400 meter individual medley with a time of 4:29.14.[4] She won the bronze medal. Earlier in 2015 at the French Championships in Limoges, she had already broken the long course French record in this event.[5] In 2016, she again broke the long-course record, with a time of 4:36.61 at the French Championships and Olympic trials in Montpellier.[6] At the 2016 Olympics, she competed in the 200 m butterfly and the 400 m individual medley.[7]

She has qualified to represent France at the 2020 Summer Olympics, and competed the 10 km open water marathon.[7][8]
