Between 2002 and 2004, he played for Sochaux, with a one-year period out on loan to Sedan. De Carvalho then spent five years between 2005 and 2010 with Brest in Ligue 2 and Championnat National. In the beginning of 2010, he signed for Strasbourg in Championnat National, scoring once in 15 matches.
===Lokomotiv Plovdiv=== In 2010, De Carvalho joined Lokomotiv Plovdiv as a replacement for Garra Dembélé, who had just been sold to Levski Sofia. In six months there, he scored 7 goals in 13 matches.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=soccerway.com|title=Basile de Carvalho player profile|url=https://int.soccerway.com/players/basile-de-carvalho/37725/|access-date=17 March 2012}}</ref> In January 2011, De Carvalho was close to being transferred to Levski Sofia, but the deal eventually fell through, purportedly due to his chronic shoulder problems.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=btv.bg|title=Левски се отказа от трансфера на Базил Де Карвальо|url=http://www.btv.bg/sport/bulgarian-football/story/1921027479-Levski_se_otkaza_ot_transfera_na_Bazil_De_Karvalyo.html|access-date=17 March 2012}}</ref> He continued to be a regular starter for Lokomotiv Plovdiv, when physically fit, during the 2011–12 season.
