It is a predominantly flat course through the Chevreuse and Loire valleys; the highest point is 200 m, at Le Gault-du-Perche.

For several decades the race arrived on the 2.7 km long Avenue de Grammont, one of cycling's best-known finishing straits, particularly renowned among sprinters. Since 2011 the finish was moved to a different location because a new tram line was built on the Avenue de Grammont.

It was organised by the magazine ''Paris-Vélo'', which described that edition won by Eugène Prévost as, ''“A crazy, unheard of, unhoped for success”''.
