Last week, Alan Roura was in Neuchâtel to share his experience with the bank's employees and to thank them for their support during the four years of preparation for the Vendée Globe.

At the age of 31, Alan has just completed his third Vendée Globe in 18th position, after 84 days at sea. This sporting result does not satisfy the Swiss sailor, but it is far from reflecting his race, which he experienced with great pleasure and above all the satisfaction of having fought intensely at every moment.
