In June, after receiving a wildcard into the 2023 Internationaux de Tennis de Blois, Géa made his debut and recorded his first win at the Challenger level, defeating world No. 135 Timofey Skatov in straight sets.[9]

Coached by Tarik Benhabiles and Jérôme Pottier,[2] Géa made a successful start to his pro-career when he reached his first ITF Tour final in Heraklion in November 2023 where he lost to Guy den Ouden. The following week at the same venue he won his first senior title on the ITF Tour with a three sets victory over Cezar Crețu.[10] He then won two more ITF Tour titles in the same month to reach four consecutive finals, winning three consecutive titles, including a win in the final of the fourth event over the higher ranked Brit Alastair Gray.[11][12]
