With the ending of the Grande Boucle Féminine Internationale after 2009, and the Tour de l'Aude Cycliste Féminin after 2010, the Route de France Féminine became the only major women's stage race held in France. The race ended in 2016. Giorgia Bronzini is the most successful stage winner with 10 stage wins.
