Pernelle Carron started skating at the age of six. She skated with Edouard Dezutter for twelve years and finished 13th at the 2005 World Junior Championships.
In the summer of 2005, Carron teamed up with Matthieu Jost. Together, they were the 2006 and 2007 French national bronze medalists and the 2008 and 2009 French national silver medalists. Carron and Jost also won a bronze medal at the 2007 Skate Canada International, finished as high as 6th at the European Championships, and were ninth in their only appearance at the World Championships.
Carron ended her partnership with Jost in April 2009, and began skating with Lloyd Jones.[4][5] In their first season together, they won the NRW trophy and were the French national champions, a title they won in the absence of the higher ranked Isabelle Delobel/Olivier Schoenfelder and Nathalie Pechalat/Fabian Bourzat. Carron and Jones were 12th at the European Championships and at that season's World Championships. The next season, they again won the 2010 NRW Trophy, as well as the 2010 Coupe de Nice, and finished 5th and 4th in two Grand Prix assignments, 2011 Skate Canada and the 2010 Trophee Eric Bompard, respectively. They were unable to defend their national title, finishing with a silver medal behind Pechalat and Bourzat. They moved up to 9th at the European Championships and again finished 12th at Worlds.
Carron and Jones were coached by Muriel Boucher-Zazoui and Romain Haguenauer in Lyon, France, until the end of the 2010-11 season when they moved to the United States to be coached by Natalia Linichuk.[6] They made their 2011-12 season debut at the 2011 Coupe de Nice, were they won the silver, and won their first Grand Prix medal together at the 2011 Cup of China.
