In a world where everything seems to be moving faster and faster, where prestigious industries can sometimes seem detached from human realities, it is essential to remember what truly gives meaning to our actions. At Christel Pocachard Yachting, this commitment comes to life every day through the way we work, collaborate and support initiatives that embody our core values.
Once again this year, we have had the pleasure and pride of contributing to a cause that is particularly close to our hearts: the Nice-based charity Sourire & Partage, which works tirelessly to bring a little light and comfort to hospitalised children and their families.
And for this wonderful humanitarian adventure, we have chosen to join forces once again this year with an artist with a big heart: Grégory Berben.
Meaningful collaboration and action.
For several years now, Grégory Berben has been putting his artistic talent to work for noble causes. Through his exhibitions and vernissages, he transforms art into a vehicle for emotions, reflection and, above all, generosity.
At his latest exhibition opening in Théoule-sur-Mer, the artist once again demonstrated that creativity can go hand in hand with solidarity.
To support this wonderful initiative, Christel Pocachard Yachting wanted to play an active role by offering a day aboard a yacht, which was auctioned off during the charity evening.
It was an incredible experience that raised funds for the Sourire & Partage charity.
This symbolic yet deeply human gesture reflects our conviction that every action, no matter how small, can help improve the lives of those going through difficult times.
It is in this alliance between art, humanity and solidarity that we find our true purpose.
Sourire & Partage : concrete actions for hospitalised children
Based in the Nice area, the Sourire & Partage association works daily to support hospitalised children, their parents and medical teams.
Their mission is simple but essential: to offer moments of joy and comfort to those who need it most.
Thanks to the energy of its volunteers and the generosity of its partners, Sourire & Partage funds activities, gifts, hospital facilities and holidays for families.
Every euro raised at charity events, such as the one organised with Grégory Berben, goes directly to children who are bravely battling illness.
Participating in these initiatives is a matter of course for us. Because beyond yachting, beyond the luxury and refinement that characterise our profession, we believe above all in the richness of human relationships.
Putting our expertise at the service of a meaningful cause is a way of reminding ourselves that true luxury lies in the heart we put into our actions.
People at the heart of everything: a work philosophy
At Christel Pocachard Yachting, we have always wanted our work to go beyond simply providing a service.
We operate in a world that can sometimes seem far removed from everyday concerns. However, it is precisely this perception that we seek to change: to restore meaning, to place people at the heart of every project, and to build partnerships based on trust and respect.
This commitment is not limited to one-off events. It is part of our daily lives, our relationships with our partners, our customers and our ecosystem.
Whether it’s yacht management, collaboration or solidarity initiatives, we always prioritise human values: listening, kindness and sharing.
Because ultimately, what makes our profession so wonderful is not just the beautiful yachts or exceptional destinations — but the people who make it all possible.
Giving meaning, the luxury of the heart!
Working with Grégory Berben is never a coincidence. He is an artist whose creative approach is fuelled by humanity and openness.
His colourful, vibrant and energetic world reflects a desire to share.
Through his exhibitions, he seeks not only to display works of art, but also to build bridges between art and life, between beauty and solidarity.
His involvement with organisations such as Sourire & Partage shows how art can become a driving force for change, a means of mobilising, inspiring and doing good.
It is an honour for us to have been able to contribute alongside him and to see our participation as part of such a positive and meaningful dynamic.
Every action, every partnership, every project we undertake at Christel Pocachard Yachting is part of this commitment: to act with conscience, humanity and authenticity.
This opening night in Théoule-sur-Mer, where art and solidarity came together, reminds us how useful and necessary small actions are, and that we can all do our bit.
We would like to extend our warmest thanks to Grégory Berben for his talent and commitment, as well as to all those who contributed to this wonderful evening in Théoule-sur-Mer. Thank you also to the Sourire et Partage association for its admirable work and daily dedication to families.
Congratulations to you!
