Paris–Roubaix Femmes is a one day women's bicycle race on cobbled roads (or pavé) in northern France, held annually in early April.

Paris–Roubaix is famous for rough terrain, mud and cobblestones, or pavé (setts)[n 1] – the race has been nicknamed l'enfer du Nord, or Hell of the North.

[3] In 2018, Union Cycliste Internationale president David Lappartient pushed for the race, stating "I dream of a Paris–Roubaix Feminine" in an interview with L'Équipe.

[6] The first edition of Paris–Roubaix Femmes took place in 2021,[7] with Lizzie Deignan winning following a 80km solo attack described by commentators as one of the greatest Roubaix rides of all time.

[11] Editions of the race have so far started in Denain,[7][11] with 17 sectors of pavé including the famed Carrefour de l'Arbre and the Mons-en-Pévèle – both ranked at "five stars" in difficulty.
