Introduction

A workshop to build solar ovens and stoves
by the Trièves Transitions Ecologie association
Housed in Bombyx, a former factory in Mens.
Discovery, courses and sales.

Since 2020, the Les cuiseurs solaires workshop has been based on the premises of Bombyx, the former Mens factory.

The activities on offer provide an opportunity to :
- discover and understand solar energy,
- build your own solar oven, stove or dryer,
- learn how to recycle by giving new life to recycled materials,
- use traditional tools (such as the chignole) to learn how to do-it-yourself without electricity.

Fridays in the sun (participation: €2):
A friendly exchange space to explore solar cooking, open Fridays June 12, 19 and 26, 2026 from 2pm to 5pm. And on request by phone.
On the program: an introduction to solar cooking, including cooking dishes, orientation of solar appliances and, of course, a tasting session!
Visit the Bombyx factory.

Discover solar cooking at home:
You can rent a solar dish or solar oven for 15 days during Sun Fridays, or on request, to try out solar cooking at home. Price: 15 euros per appliance.
