After a beautiful flight from Montpellier over the Alps, André Pelat meets us and we have lunch together. Jim Lampi's EasyJet lands at 13:00. When we get our coffes, there are mini black chocolate bars on the plate, wrapped up in a black foil which says "Le Stick Noir". Now that's a coincidence!
We pack everything in the trunk of my car and off we go to Neuchâtel.
