Norman K: A synergy of expertise dedicated to an exceptional hotel project

At Norman K, we guide our clients with a fully integrated and personalized approach, designing tailor-made solutions for every project. The renovation of Hôtel Le Provençal—owned and operated by Benjamin and Damien PIFFET—perfectly illustrates our model, which is built on the synergy of our expertise in financing, wealth management, and the structuring of complex financial operations.

Secured and Structured Financing

Our NK Financing team led the search for, and structuring of, a financing solution combining senior and junior debt. The deal was successfully closed with our banking partners:

  • Crédit Agricole (Audrey Montanaro & Claire Sarri)
  • Crédit Mutuel Méditerranée (Julien Parage & Stéphane Uzzo)
  • Bpifrance (Michel Tringali, Thomas Sergent, Nathalie Guilbeau & Laurent Alameda)

We also secured quasi-equity support through the family investment company EODEN (David Dellery).
A custom “bridge” private debt solution was structured and distributed within just two months by NK Team (Julien Moenne-loccoz), ensuring the project’s progress while waiting for the main funds to be released.

 

Optimized Wealth Transfer

Our NK Wealth Family Solutions team assisted the owning family with estate planning and asset transfer, securing the hotel’s long-term future under optimal legal and tax frameworks.

 

A Collaborative Effort with Trusted Experts

This project brought together a network of trusted partners who provided vital support at every stage:

  • Consulting: FGC (Pierre & Simon Massaferro, Jean-Philippe Reboul, Vanessa Massaud)
  • Legal Advisory: Dupont Partners, AVL Avocats (Bernard Liger & Anne Vinent Liger), Cabinet Garry & Associés (Maître Mathieu D’Acqui), SFEG Avocats (Maître Christophe Blanc)
  • Project Management Assistance: Groupe PCH (Pascal Chataing)

Thanks to this effective collaboration, renovation work is already underway, with a reopening planned for the 2025 season.

At Norman K, we are proud to once again demonstrate our ability to design and deliver high-performance, tailor-made solutions that meet the unique challenges of our clients.
