She rose to prominence in film in the 1970s, notably for her roles in Histoire de Paul (1975), Mémoire commune (1978), and Le cas Adam et Ève (1974). In Mémoire commune, directed by Patrick Poidevin, she plays the character of the Commune, alongside Jean-Paul Wenzel. On stage, she has performed in several notable plays, such as Pedro Calderón de la Barca's L’Alcade de Zalamea (directed by René Jauneau, 1968), Michel Vinaver's Par-dessus bord (directed by Roger Planchon, 1974), Vsevolod Vichnievsky's La Tragédie optimiste (directed by Bernard Chartreux, 1974), and 2 ou 3 Arturo Ui (2 or 3 Arturo Ui) based on Antonin Artaud (directed by Roger Cornillac, 1979). Florence Camarroque has also distinguished herself as a director, author, and adaptor, notably with the play Gousse de vanille (1991), which she wrote, adapted, and directed herself. She has also flexed her talents as a singer, for example in Annie Lohier's Rendez-vous à Tacana (directed by Louise Doutreligne, 1976). Away from the stage and screen, she has directed and written documentaries, including A Bridge for Ever..., demonstrating her attachment to heritage and collective memory.
