Created in 1992 as the Transat AG2R, the race gathers two-person crews on Figaro one-designs between Brittany and Saint-Barthélemy. Until 2004 it started from Lorient, with a Madeira waypoint; since 2006 it starts from Concarneau with a mark in the Canary Islands, about 3,890 nautical miles.
It was called AG2R La Mondiale from 2010 to 2018. The 2020 edition was postponed to 2021 because of Covid-19; Nils Palmieri and Julien Villion won it in 18 d 05 h, the race record. In 2022 the Paprec group became title partner and the race was renamed Transat Paprec.
Since 2023 crews have been fully mixed. Loïs Berrehar and Charlotte Yven won that edition, then Charlotte Yven, with Hugo Dhallenne, won again in 2025, the first woman skipper to win twice in a row. Armel Le Cléac'h (2004, 2010) also won twice. The race is run by OC Sport Pen Duick.
