swimming
Our swimming retreats help improve your swimming efficiency whilst enjoying a re-energising break at our 19th Century Chateau. Expert, well-respected, coaches guide your swim program, with varied, fully supported open water swims and technique sessions in our private, 5-lane, 25 metre pool. 1-1 expert analysis of your technique informs your small group and group sessions - setting you on the path to improvement. All set against the backdrop of our luxurious Chateau de la Motte Henry and its 27 acres of parkland grounds.
RUNNING
Our luxury running retreats, delivered in partnership with leading coaches, are perfect for newbies, veterans and serious improvers. In 2023 former international athletes and now leading coaches - Liz and Martin Yelling - are joined by the 'Indiana Jones of running', Shane Benzie and our other expert coaches and sports scientist to improve your running. We provide a level of support that treats you like an elite athlete, in an inspirational, boutique hotel environment. 1-1 assessments and group training sessions are tailored both to you and to your objectives.
CYCLING
Our cycling retreats provide a truly unforgettable experience. Fully supported rides through the rolling terrain of the Mayenne, neighbouring Brittany and the Alpes Mancelles - often accompanied by ex-pro peloton riders. 1-1 expert analysis of your technique and your physiology. Bike transfers from the UK and goodie bags on arrival. On the road nutrition and all meals included (even café stops!). Evening massage and group social time set against the backdrop of our luxurious Chateau.
Club & Community Weeks
As well as organising Group Evolution's own retreats, we are happy to welcome Clubs, Societies and Communities to Chateau de la Motte Henry. We are able to offer some or all of the services we offer at our camps, including catering, logistics management, transportation, support and expert assistance, whether coaches, sports scientists or sports therapists. A week at the Chateau is an amazing experience, with exclusive use of the facility a markedly different, and we think better, than a week at a resort or sports hotel. And, as long as your Club, Community or Society can get sufficient attendees (14+) its highly cost effective too!
