The Critérium International was a two-day bicycle stage race held in France every spring from 1932 until 2016, typically the last weekend of March.

The race has been won by some of the most famous names in cycling, including Jacques Anquetil, Sean Kelly, Bernard Hinault, Miguel Induráin, Stephen Roche, Joop Zoetemelk, Laurent Fignon, Jens Voigt, Cadel Evans and Chris Froome.

Upon its creation in 1932, it was held as a one-day race in the Vallée de Chevreuse, finishing in the Parc des Princes velodrome in Paris.

November 18, 2016 the ASO announced that it would no longer organise the two-day event, ending its 85-year run.
