Charles Pictet (1755-1824) came from a patrician family in Geneva. He was the son of Charles Pictet (1713-1792), a colonel in the Dutch service, and Marie, née Dunant. After a brief period of study in Geneva, he began a military career in France in 1775, where he served in the army for 12 years. Upon his marriage to Adélaïde Sara de Rochemont in 1786, he changed his family name to "Pictet de Rochemont." Upon his return to Geneva in 1788, he became a member of the "Conseil des Deux Cents" (Parliament of the Genevan Republic) and a high-ranking officer in the Genevan troops. During the Genevan Revolution, he was sentenced to one year of house arrest in 1794. In 1796, he founded the journal Bibliothèque britannique (from 1816 the Bibliothèque universelle de Genève and finally the Bibliothèque universelle et Revue de Genève in 1930) with his brother, the naturalist Marc-Auguste Pictet, and Frédéric-Guillaume Maurice. Its aim was to disseminate all important discoveries and published works in England. In 1798, he acquired an estate near Lancy, which he personally cultivated and where he primarily bred Merino sheep.

to do on the way up because the ground is covered in gravel

The route up from Biere on the Swiss side is a solid steady climb with a few 12% and 13% sections. Traffic is quite light and the road is excellent. The trees give some nice protection from the sun and wind. Crossing the col northwards takes you down to the Vallé de Joux on a pretty steep decent with great corners and some short straights. My brakes made sounds I have never heard before! I did this and Col de Mollendrux together for a great 80k / 1,500 m ride. Recommended.

The route from Vallorbe on route 7 to Lac de Joux is not recommended; the ground is loose and very steep, making it slippery!
