Who are we
Espace-Romand.ch is a regional portal offered by TropicArt’Traction Sàrl based in 1264 St-Cergue, in partnership with the Art’Traction Association.
Who is our portal intended for ?
Espace-Romand.ch is the dynamic portal which brings together the economic and social actors of French-speaking Switzerland. It is aimed at all:
– artists,
– craftsmen,
– local producers,
– independent,
– regional associations,
– local shops,
– service companies.
Help us grow. If you know producers, artisans, artists, associations, small traders or regional SMEs, do not hesitate to ask them to join us. There is strength in unity !
What is our goal
The aim of this portal is to provide concrete and effective support to small structures to enable them to compete in an increasingly complex economy. The social life of our region is made up of lots of “small” actors whose importance is of the greatest importance and it is essential to help them.
Our interactive online portal allows broad-spectrum distribution to a varied and cosmopolitan audience. But that’s not all, we also offer numerous events allowing you to meet the local population and also be present on the ground, live.
As a result, we can offer support on all fronts at the same time, both virtual and real.
Range of action
We have chosen to extend our project and our services throughout French-speaking Switzerland… neither too big, nor too small!
Indeed, we prefer to dedicate ourselves to a region which remains of a manageable size and where we can provide comprehensive assistance adapted on a case-by-case basis.
With this surface area, we can guarantee a qualitative and quantitative impact to our members, while ensuring optimal service and maximum listening.
Our Internet portal allows members to benefit from continuous online promotion, 365 days a year and 24 hours a day. Furthermore, our thematic directories offer the possibility of increasing the referencing of each member with search engines and consolidating their presence on the web.
We complete our offer with numerous activities and events bringing together the population and regional players. The goal is to also develop daily interaction, in the real world.
Our concept is intended to be as complete as possible in order to meet all expectations.
Our services
The Espace-Romand.ch online portal was imagined and designed to provide various attractive and useful services allowing us to retain our visitors and users, thus guaranteeing more views for our members.
Each member has the opportunity to publish their personal profile in our directories in order to promote their activities. Other thematic additional modules such as photo galleries, web radio, video reports, media management for all your printed and digital media and much more, complete our offer and strengthen your success!
An events calendar allows you to announce events not to be missed in French-speaking Switzerland. Openings, shows, markets, exhibitions, open houses, inaugurations, cinemas, daily menus and much more are listed there to energize our beautiful region.
We also organize networking drinks allowing professionals to meet in a pleasant and relaxed context to meet other regional economic players and thus perfect their strategy, exchange ideas, find partners and collaborators and above all, have a good time together.
As you will have understood, everything has been designed to provide maximum support at all levels.

Our values
We believe that we are reaching an economic turning point and that it is essential to support local players in the face of globalization and the giants who have invaded and destroyed local markets in recent years.
Just like us, you have also noticed the disappearance of many small regional businesses to the detriment of fast food restaurants or large soulless supermarkets with sanitized profiles.
More and more people no longer go to local shops and prefer to give in to the ease of ordering on the internet on the other side of the planet, from unethical factories which advocate respect for nature by promoting overconsumption and using transport with serious consequences for the ecology.
Payments are increasingly made by card and cash is shunned by users, even though it is their own future freedom that is at stake. It is essential to preserve our financial sovereignty by favoring cash and not virtual payments with merchants. Furthermore, your local merchant will also be grateful to you because with cash they do not pay transaction taxes (and do not need to increase their prices).
We believe in diversity, the beauty of craftsmanship and traditions, of passion and increasingly forgotten know-how, of mutual aid and proximity. It is all of this that makes our regions rich and which made us want to focus on this ethical and social project that is Espace-Romand.ch.
Together, everything becomes possible!
Structure of our portal
The entire Espace-Romand.ch concept, the related project management, our website and even the graphic charter of our designs and logos are managed by us. It is important to us to bring an ethical and social project to life from scratch while aiming for the stars. As a result, we cannot be closer to our members, in the field, in search of information to try to carry out a project that meets as many of your expectations as possible. Therefore, if you encounter bugs or notice errors, even large spelling mistakes, please report them to us so that we can correct them as we go along.
