Coaching, accommodation, healthy meals, yoga, and recovery. Zero mental load, just enjoy.

Your real questions
What if…
…am I coming alone?
8 out of 10 arrive alone, and no one leaves alone. The collective is made precisely for that.
…I'm not good enough?
We cycle and swim in level-based groups. Beginner or experienced, there's a group for you. No one gets left behind.
...I don't have all the equipment?
We send you a clear list in advance and offer advice. Need a bike or equipment? We'll direct you to partner rental shops, and our Les Bornées apparel will outfit you.
…something unexpected prevents me from coming?
With the flexibility option, your stay is refunded if you cancel. You can book with peace of mind.
Verified reviews · they've been there
What you take away from a first trip
"Never run a race in my life, way out of my league in everything: skill level, age, gear... I thought I'd be a drag, but I came out of it boosted. I recommend it wholeheartedly."
“It was my first camp with Les Bornées and everything was perfect. We really all enjoy it together.”
"Left feeling confident because everything was clear. All we have to do is enjoy ourselves, nothing to do: laundry, meals, timing, everything is set. I'll be back, that's for sure."
"Everything is in place for a great week. Wonderful encounters. The hardest part is leaving..."
Still unsure?
The questions we get asked
Is there a minimum skill level required?
No. Our camps are designed with groups based on skill level, from motivated beginners to advanced participants looking to perform. We'll direct you to the right group before departure.
Are men welcome?
Yes. The collective was founded by women, but our retreats are open to everyone. The atmosphere remains welcoming and inclusive.
Can I bring a friend?
Of course! Many come as a pair. And many come alone and leave with others. Both work very well.
How to get there?
You are responsible for organizing your travel to the resort. Depending on the destination, a shuttle option (train station / airport) may be available to add at the time of booking.
What if the stay I'm interested in is fully booked?
You can join the waiting list: we'll notify you as soon as a spot opens up or a new date becomes available.
