The head coach entrusted Nicolas with the place of the main goalkeeper in the majority of club matches. Over a period of three years spent in the club the player participated in 86 games.

In 2008 Douchez continued his football career with Rennes that he joined on a three-year deal. The club’s manager made a decision to put the football player in the starting lineup as the main goalkeeper beginning with the first rounds of league matches. During three years the goalkeeper appeared in 111 matches.

In 2011 the footballer caught the eye of Paris Saint-Germain FC from Ligue 1. Parisian club offered him a long-term contract and the position of the main goalkeeper.
