Brocante « Au tour du bois » by Rabot Copeau

The wood flea market in the heart of Trièves

On the charming Place Paul Brachet in Mens, in the heart of Trièves, the Rabot Copeau association organizes a flea market like no other every spring. Named « Au tour du bois », this event brings together wood working enthusiasts around a specialized market where wood machines, antique tools, and furniture to be restored are sold, exchanged, and swapped.

Rabot Copeau, the shared workshop

Rabot Copeau is a community carpentry workshop hosted by Usine Bombyx in Mens. Open every Tuesday afternoon, this shared workshop allows its members to carry out their DIY and carpentry projects under the guidance of Bernard, an experienced carpenter. The « Au tour du bois » flea market is one of the highlights of the association's life, opening its doors to the general public.

Demonstrations and know-how

Beyond the market, the flea market offers demonstrations of artisanal know-how: wood spoon carving, woodturning, and restoration techniques for antique furniture. These open workshops allow visitors to discover wood working and exchange with enthusiasts. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, true to the spirit of Trièves.

Mens, capital of Trièves

A small town of character nestled at an altitude of 780 meters between Vercors and Dévoluy, Mens is the historic capital of Trièves. Its Saturday morning market, its artisan shops, and its dynamic cultural life make it an attractive place for residents and visitors alike. The Rabot Copeau flea market is part of this tradition of local events.
