Constructionshows
Carrefour International du Bois in Nantes, France is Europe’s foremost professional trade exhibition dedicated exclusively to the wood and timber industry. Held at the Parc des Expositions de la Beaujoire, this biennial event brings together manufacturers, distributors, forest-sector players, architects, builders, joinery specialists, and industry decision-makers from around the world to explore a comprehensive showcase of wood products, technologies, and construction solutions.
As the largest timber-focused event on the continent, Carrefour International du Bois covers the full spectrum of the wood supply chain. Visitors can discover sawn timber, panels, parquet flooring, cladding, engineered wood products, construction solutions, joinery and woodworking materials, and related forestry products — all organised into themed halls to facilitate tailored exploration and networking. f
The show’s professional orientation makes it a key destination for traders, importers, manufacturers, designers, architects, and builders who rely on wood as a primary material for construction, interiors, and specialised applications. In addition to product presentations, the event features a dynamic programme of conferences, roundtables, expert pitches, and sector-specific discussions that address industry trends, sustainable sourcing, certification (such as FSC and PEFC), climate-focused innovations, and the evolving role of wood in modern building practice.
Carrefour International du Bois also serves as a major hub for business development and international networking. It regularly attracts several hundred exhibitors from dozens of countries and thousands of professional visitors seeking to forge new partnerships, explore export and import opportunities, and benchmark cutting-edge solutions.
Held in Nantes — a city with strong transport links across Europe — Carrefour International du Bois offers a unique environment where practical commerce, technical debate, and industry strategy converge. Whether you are sourcing new timber products, comparing engineered wood systems, or integrating sustainable materials into design and construction projects, this exhibition provides direct access to innovations and expertise shaping the future of the European wood economy.
