    Cotillon system is a system of six planets: Cherry, Apricot, Lemon, Apple, Bilberry and Sloe. These six planets are interdependent. They produce each something which needs another planet and need each of something produced by another planet. If one of them to be lacking, all the system collapses. Until now, fortunately, no problem was noted in the functioning of these exchanges. Let us wish that it lasts till the end of time.

 

    The Cotillon system, it is also and above all the book that tells the relations of these planets. A work the manufacturing of which offers some exceptional characteristics which make it a work of exception. Notably all the preparation of the paper before the printing.
