La Randouillette begins and ends at the Yprésis hall in Saint-Hilaire-de-Loulay, a village within Montaigu-Vendée in western France. This event takes place on a Sunday in spring and has a family and sport atmosphere. It has been held for sixteen years.
The organizers set up fourteen different circuits, allowing the day to focus on route options instead of one set path. Local parents from the Apel group of Sainte-Marie school and the Les Guidons vert club organize the event, giving it the character of a community gathering as much as a competition.
