PONANT

PONANT, the world's leading luxury shipping company and France's only cruise ship owner, has provided financial support for the restoration of the former Chief of Staff's office and for the creation of the mediation system on display there.

Founded in 1988 by merchant navy officers, PONANT has created a new style of cruising under the French flag, based on a unique concept of sea travel. The promise of a unique and authentic PONANT voyage is to discover exceptional territories aboard yachts of refined design, where the art of living, discretion, attentive service and excellent cuisine take pride of place. PONANT, in addition to the responsible exercise of its profession and its commitment to promoting sustainable tourism, wished to invest further by creating a Foundation in 2018 with the aim of preserving the oceans and poles, as well as encouraging exchanges between indigenous peoples.
