Vivons Bois is the public event for all those who want to know more about timber and building with timber, and how it can contribute to sustainable living. Over four days, visitors can explore the potential of timber as the building material of the future and meet professionals involved in both new-build and renovation. Around 100 exhibitors – builders, joiners, architects, timber merchants and including a number of key companies in each sector – put their skills and know-how on display.

In parallel with a programme of panel discussions aimed at new owners and potential buyers of timber-built homes, an Advice Centre gives visitors an opportunity to meet specialists (architects, joiners, kitchen specialists, craftsmen, builders, timber suppliers, etc.) face to face.

The key French forestry and timber construction industry players converge on Bordeaux Conference Centre just before Vivons Bois, for the Rencontres Nationales Forêt-Bois-Construction.
