The race was created in 1892, hence why it's called La Doyenne - The oldest. Léon Houa won its first three editions, and then the race took two extensive break periods - the second of which due to World War I. It is a race that has also been won by some of Belgium's very best such as Rik van Looy, Eddy Merckx, Roger de Vlaeminck, Philippe Gilbert and Remco Evenepoel.
Within this century others such as Alejandro Valverde, Andy Schleck and Primoz Roglic have also won. It used to be an open race, currently less so.
The past two editions have been won by Tadej Pogacar, taking uncontested solo wins with attacks on La Redoute.
