Valentin Ferron (TotalEnergies) outkicked his breakaway partner Éwen Costiou (Arkéa-Samsic) to win the 2023 Paris-Camembert.

The duo stole away from a lead group of nine riders with less than 16km to go in the 209km race and held off a trio of chasers with 15 seconds to spare on the final 5km run-in to Livarot-Pays-d'Auge.
