A thousand billion thousand spouts of thunder from Brest, it’s been forty years since Hergé broke his pipe. March 3, 1983. Exactly four decades later, the Rotary Club of Lausanne and its tintinophile president, Vincent Grandjean, invited Laurent Missbauer, a specialist in the work of the brilliant Belgian cartoonist, for a conference. “His intervention is all the more justified since very special ties united our country, respectively the canton of Vaud, and the father of Tintin”, emphasizes Vincent Grandjean.
