became the directeur sportif
, bringing his protégé Laurent Fignon
who nearly won the 1989 edition
of the Tour de France
. A change of sponsor in 1990 renamed the team Castorama.
In 1992 Guimard became manager
of the team. In 1995, Jean-René Bernaudeau
, a former professional racer, became director of the team. From 1996 to 1999, the team withdrew from top-level competition. Bernaudeau set up a development team in the Vendée
region called Vendée U.
In 2000, the team again became a professional team Bonjour, still under the control of the sporting director Bernaudeau. In 2003, the team became "Brioches La Boulangère", then "Bouygues Télécom" in 2005. The amateur team Vendée U still acts as feeder team for the professional team.
As Bonjour and Brioches La Boulangère the team gained prominence with promising young stars Fabrice Salanson, Thomas Voeckler
and Sylvain Chavanel
. Salanson's death due to heart disease in 2003 was a blow to the team. Voeckler wore the maillot jaune for 10 days in the 2004 Tour de France
while also French national champion and became a national hero.
The team competes mainly in French races. Chavanel left the team in 2005 to join Cofidis
.

was confirmed as the replacement, after assurances that then- French National Champion Thomas Voeckler
would remain with the team, but the guarantee of the team's future, so late that it necessitated an extension of the usual UCI deadline for licence application, was too late to retain the services of Pierrick Fédrigo
and Nicolas Vogondy
. Voeckler's contract is worth over 400,000 euros a year, second only to Sylvain Chavanel
among French riders.
Following the sponsorship questions, the team had its best year to date in 2011, winning stages in Paris-Nice and the Criterium du Dauphine
(in which they also took the team competition). In July, Thomas Voeckler won and held the overall lead in the Tour of France
for 10 days; support rider Pierre Rolland received accolades for his defense of Voeckler, and later took a stage victory on the famous Alpe D'Huez
climb, leading to the race's overall white jersey title. The team also fielded Yohann Gene
, the first black rider in the Tour. Europcar's new higher profile will allow it compete internationally in 2012 and sign more notable riders.
