Travert began his political career in the Socialist Party, which he first joined in 1988. He held several local and national executive positions in the party during the 2000s before being elected to the National Assembly in Manche's 3rd constituency in the 2012 French legislative elections. Although Travert began his tenure on the left wing of the Socialist group, he gradually grew closer to Emmanuel Macron while serving as rapporteur for the latter's Macron Law in 2015. Travert left the Socialists to join En Marche! and Territories of Progress in 2016 and became a national delegate for En Marche! in October of that year.
Travert was re-elected in the 2017 French legislative elections before being named Minister of Agriculture and Food in the second Philippe government. He returned to the National Assembly in October 2018.
Before entering the National Assembly, Travert served on the Regional Council of Lower Normandy from 2010 to 2015 and the Regional Council of Normandy from 2016 to 2017.
