A brand born around the fire...
It all started by a campfire, with a cauldron blackened by the flames, and the desire to simply get together with friends.
For over 10 years, we have been passionate about bushcraft , bivouacking , and cooking in the great outdoors .
From this passion was born Approche Libre : a French brand, from the Alpes-Maritimes , independent, which designs durable and useful objects for living freely and cooking outdoors in a cauldron.

We have created 3 sets of 10 recipes , engraved on wood, to be used directly around the fire:
-
Laser engraved , without ink or plastic, on basswood plywood.
-
Strong and durable , even in wet conditions.
-
