After 14 years as co-chairs of the Neuchâtel Geographical Society, Valérie Sauter and I have stepped down!
14 years? That’s a tenth of the SNG’s existence, around 90 events & the Géo-Regards journal. Plenty of memories of conferences, visits... Thank you to all who have been part of this adventure!

🚲 Today was a good (cycling) day!
🚲 Visit of Bern with my master's students (bike station, junctions, cycle streets, etc.).
🚲 I then cycled 60 km back home. I even reached the top 3 of the bike-to-work scheme at the University of Lausanne that started today. Won't be able to keep this pace 🥵
