After lengthy negotiations, the one from the Amaury Sport Organization became part of the UCI women's road cycling calendar 2015 and was classified in UCI category 1.1. In 2016, the race was added to the calendar of the newly launched UCI Women's WorldTour .

In 2018, the race was expanded to two stages, starting with a 14-kilometer team time trial the day before the original circuit race.
