Luxury sporting, wellness & creative retreats at our historic Chateau in the Loire, France. Tailored to every guest, to help you become your best!

Somewhere in this mist, there is a photograph waiting to be made.

The towers. The still water. The light that arrives slowly and then, all at once, changes everything. This is the world Paul Mitchell has been leading photographers into — and there are very few places left to do it.

Autumn 2026 is almost full. If you have been circling this one, now is the moment.

And if your eye is already on 2027, Spring and Autumn dates are open for booking now — giving you something genuinely worth planning for.

This is not a photography course. There is no grading, no comparison, no sense that you need to arrive already knowing. What you will find is time — real, unhurried time — inside a place that seems almost designed to make you look more carefully at the world.

The château is not a backdrop. It is part of what happens here.

Stay a little longer and join our Murder Mystery weekend, or arrive early for our Bridge Escape — because the best creative weeks have a little mystery built in.

There's a moment mid-week when something shifts. The sessions start clicking. The group finds its rhythm. And what felt like hard work starts feeling like exactly where you're supposed to be.

That's the Château effect. A week away from the noise of normal life, surrounded by great coaching, incredible food, and people who just get it.

This is what focused, joyful training looks like. And there are still spots available for our next camp at Château de la Motte Henry.

What separates a good week from a life-changing one? It starts here — with a coach who actually knows your name, understands where you're at, and builds every session around getting you somewhere better.

Our triathlon camps at Château de la Motte Henry are designed for real people with real ambitions. You don't need a podium finish to your name. You need curiosity, commitment, and a willingness to be challenged — everything else is our job.

Swim analysis in open water. Structured rides through the Mayenne countryside. Run sessions that make sense of your mechanics. Expert coaching woven through every discipline. And in between? Exceptional food, genuine laughter, and the kind of evenings that remind you training doesn't have to be joyless.

This is what great value looks like — not just the price, but what you actually walk away with: new skills, new confidence, and a training approach that works long after you've unpacked your kit bag.

Places are limited. Get in touch to find out what's available.

This is what the finish line feels like.

Not just the race — the week that made it possible.

Swim. Bike. Run. Tested, coached, and built around you at Château de la Motte Henry.

Here's the one thing left to say:

2027 dates are moving. Early bird places won't wait.

If this campaign has landed — if something in the last few weeks made you think 'that's me' — now is the moment.

Get in touch. Secure your place. Show up ready.

Your UK race calendar doesn't care where you trained.

But you will.

There's something about removing yourself completely — different roads, open water, time zone shift, no inbox — that lets your body absorb work it normally deflects.

A week in France isn't a holiday from training. It's where training actually lands.

Swim in open water that mirrors race conditions. Ride roads built for long efforts. Be assessed, coached, and sent home with a plan that fits your exact season.

The athletes who arrive at their A-race ahead of the curve didn't get lucky. They built the foundation early — and somewhere better than their usual Tuesday night session.

Places available now.

This is what it looks like when you actually do it.

Not a highlight reel. Real athletes — different ages, different starting points, same podium.

Every single one of them arrived at the Château not knowing exactly what they were capable of. They left knowing.

That's what a week of genuine, tailored coaching, proper sports science, and full immersion does. It doesn't just prepare you for race day — it changes how you train for every day after it.

2027 is the goal. The work starts now.

Places are available. Get in touch to find out more.

Conifers caught in full sunlight against a dark sky. It's the kind of contrast that stops you mid-walk — and mid-breath.

This is the landscape you'll be working with on a Group Evolution Creative Photography Retreat at Château de la Motte Henry. Not a class. Not a workshop. A genuine creative immersion in one of the most quietly dramatic corners of rural France.

Here's what makes it different:

📷 Expert guidance that meets you where you are — whether you've shot for years or just started exploring
🌲 A landscape that keeps changing its mind — woodland, architecture, open sky, still water — all within reach
🏰 The château itself as your base and your subject, a building that understands atmosphere

You'll leave with new work made in this place, a sharper eye for light and composition, and creative habits that travel home with you.

Places are available now. Get in touch to find out more about upcoming retreat dates and what's included.

What high performers do differently?

High performers don't rely on motivation.

They prioritise:
• Recovery
• Consistency
• Sleep
• Nutrition
• Long term thinking

Success is usually built through ordinary habits repeated over time.

Most training plans are built on assumption rather than evidence — a heart-rate zone from a formula, a technique judged by eye, a ni**le trained through rather than understood.

Our approach replaces that with something more honest: diagnose, intervene, transform.

We test technique with both video and force data, because the two often disagree in ways that matter — a pedal stroke can look symmetrical on camera while one leg is doing meaningfully more work. We test physiology with CPET and Moxy together, because they measure different systems — your heart and lungs, and what's actually happening in the working muscle — so we can tell which one is really holding you back.

Training then responds directly to what's found, mixing precise, zone-specific work with genuinely enjoyable group sessions. And we're honest about retesting: a week won't build new fitness, but it will confirm your training zones are accurate and show real technique change.

Diagnose. Intervene. Transform. Read the full piece here: https://groupevolution.substack.com/
