Son cœur bat pour le Seeland

Pierre Kammermann and Davide Castrini, are you two passionate croisiéristes?

DC : Ma première croisière sera sur le MS Attila.

PK : In fact, I'm not a fan of boats or cruisers. But the MS Attila, with its slightly different charm, has always captured my heart.

The coup de foudre... Quelles ont été vos premières pensées lorsqu'on vous a parlé d'Attila ?

DC: As a Soleurois, I have a connection to the Seeland and I know the Trois-Lacs region very well. I was fascinated by the idea of having a cruise offer in addition to the traditional tours of the lake, which would express a pure concentration of the region's beauties, and this made me want to support the project.

PK: I was immediately seduced by the idea of the project and I wanted to participate with Banque CIC. The fact of being able to enjoy wonderful trips in the Trois-Lacs region and to meet passionate people were additional motivations.

Comment se passe la relation entre une banque et ce Boutique Boatel ?

DC/PK: When we got in touch with the people in charge of Attila for this project, we were immediately delighted and we were able to support the project with a personalized and flexible financing solution. We also received a great deal of support from the management of the CIC bank. The interaction between the companies concerned, the shareholders and the other parties involved in the project is in direct correlation with the economic model of our financial institution. We are extremely pleased to be able to make our contribution to the realization of this pioneering project.

And what exactly is this partnership between Banque CIC and Attila?

DC/PK : La Banque CIC is a financial partner on the one hand, and a sponsor of Attila on the other. In addition, we have an amicable relationship as well as a partnership with various co-initiators of projects.

Pouvez-vous nous présenter brièvement la Banque CIC ?

La Banque CIC is LA banque flexible pour les entreprises, les entrepeneurs et les particuliers. We support our clients in their complex financial needs and are part of the Crédit Mutuel Group, headquartered in Paris, one of the best capitalized banks in Europe. At the same time, we share typically Swiss values and speak your language, both in French and German. The first pillar of Banque CIC was erected 150 years ago, and we have been anchored in Switzerland for more than 110 years. We are currently present on nine sites. We think and act in an entrepreneurial and flexible manner, in line with our motto: act locally, have a national presence and benefit from international expertise in solutions. In addition, Banque CIC is the leader in the market for the financing of river cruise boats. It is therefore logical that we also apply our expertise to pleasure craft.

Cela semble passionnant. Revenons-en au Boutique Boatel. You have already mentioned your knowledge and appreciation of the region. What is it that makes the Seeland so special in your eyes?

DC: I was born and grew up in Soleure. For me, the Seeland has always been and remains a place of choice where to spend time, whether on foot, by bike or by motorcycle, and now also with Attila.

PK: I love regional products, such as fromage and wine, and especially the savoir-vivre of French-speaking Switzerland. I also have fond memories of my youth in the city of Neuchâtel.

L'Attila also proposes interesting offers for companies. Have you already planned something with your management or your staff?

DC/PK: The first three client events of the year are already being planned or realized. We are also planning exclusive events for partners and clients on Attila in the coming years, and we are not short of ideas. In addition, our colleagues will benefit from preferential conditions.

And personally, have you already reserved a cruise?

DC : Prévu oui, mais pas encore réservé,

PK : Aujourd'hui, pas encore, mais une croisière " golf " de 2-3 jours sur l'Attila est en vue.

Qu'attendez-vous en particulier de l'Attila ?

DC : Découvrir et apprécier le Seeland sous un angle différent,

PK : Des rencontres passionnantes, des moments agréables ainsi que des expériences uniques et inoubliables.
