A large volume TPC will be used in the near future in a variety of experiments including T2K. The bulk Micromegas detector for this TPC is built using a novel production technique particularly suited for compact and robust low mass detectors. The capability to pave a large surface with a simple mounting solution and small dead space between modules is of particular interest for these applications. We have buil t several large bulk Micromegas detectors (27x26 cm 2 ) and we have tested them in the former HARP field cage setup wit h a magnetic field. Cosmic ray data have been acquired in a variet y of experimental conditions. Good detector performances and space point resolution have been achieved.
