==== 2023–24 season ====

For the 1980s-themed rhythm dance, Lopareva and Brissaud desired to skate to a less conventional choice, and took their coach's recommendation of the work of French [[synth-pop]] singer [[Mylène Farmer]]. Their free program was a "biographical" story using the music of Russian composer [[Sergei Rachmaninoff]], with Brissaud playing Rachmaninoff and Lopareva his "muse and inspiration."<ref name="GS231023" />

Lopareva/Brissaud began the season at the [[2023 CS Autumn Classic International]], winning the silver medal. They were invited to participate in the [[Shanghai Trophy]], earning a second silver medal.<ref name="ISU-ELGB" /> They started on the [[2023-24 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating|Grand Prix]] at the [[2023 Skate America]], where they finished third in the rhythm dance, only 0.60 points behind Canadian training mates [[Marjorie Lajoie|Lajoie]]/[[Zachary Lagha|Lagha]].<ref name="ISU231021" /> They were third in the free dance as well, albeit slightly further behind second-place, and won the bronze medal. Lopareva called the result "very, very special" given the strong field.<ref name="GS231023" /> With their home [[2023 Grand Prix de France|Grand Prix de France]] as their second event, Lopareva/Brissaud finished third in both segments to take the bronze medal. They noted some technical issues, particularly lost levels on their free program dance spin, they said they had felt they had improved their performance elements, with Brissaud saying "we feel like we are improving little by little, step by step."<ref name="GS231104" /> The podium of gold medalists [[Charlene Guignard|Guignard]]/[[Marco Fabbri|Fabbri]], silver medalists [[Laurence Fournier Beaudry|Fournier Beaudry]]/[[Nikolaj Sørensen|Sørensen]], and bronze medalists Lopareva/Brissaud was the same as the previous year.<ref name="ISU231104" /> Following the Grand Prix, the duo won gold at the [[2023 CS Warsaw Cup]].<ref name="ISU-ELGB" />

 

After retaining their French national title, Lopareva/Brissaud competed at the [[2024 European Figure Skating Championships|2024 European Championships]], where they placed fourth in both segments and fourth overall, 6.20 points back of bronze medalists [[Allison Reed|Reed]]/[[Saulius Ambrulevičius|Ambrulevičius]] of Lithuania.<ref name=GS240113/>

Lopareva/Brissaud concluded the season at the [[2024 World Figure Skating Championships|2024 World Championships]] in Montreal, where they finished seventh in the rhythm dance, breaking the 80-point threshold. They dropped to eighth after the free dance, but broke the 200-point threshold overall, which Brissaud called a "gift", noting that the free dance occurred on his birthday.<ref name=GS240324/>
