After her appearance in a striptease contest at the 1995 Adult Exhibition in Rennes, she made some shootings, but was repelled by the conditions of work, and decided to stay away from the adult industry. However she was later approached by Marc Dorcel who persuaded her to change her mind, by offering an exclusive contract. She shot 16 movies, and in 1996 received the Hot d'Or prize for Best European Starlet. In 1997 Sainclair co-starred with Jenna Jameson in the blockbuster Wicked Weapon.

She continued to work for Wicked Video's European division until 2000, appearing in such titles as L'Obsession de Laure, L'Héritage de Laure. and L'Indécente aux Enfers. However, she never made more than a handful of films in any one year, and her body of work remains limited. She nearly always appeared as the central character or star of each film. Laure Sainclair practised both forms of sexual congress in use in pornographic films, namely vaginal and anal sex. She played in the chic X type of movies which have plot and abundant sensuality.

Laure Sainclair left the porn industry later when she joined a radio channel, a career similar to that of Tabatha Cash. She is also more socially responsible since late campaigning for AIDS struck people.
