Biot: a village between tradition, crafts and nature

Biot is a very pretty traditional village on the Côte d’Azur, rich in history and heritage. Once famous for its pottery artisans, the village has reinvented itself by becoming a mecca for glass art. Today, Biot attracts visitors from all over the world thanks to its talented glass artisans, whose creations are recognized for their originality and exceptional quality. Among the must-sees, the Verrerie du Val de Pome by M. Saba offers unique works in bubbled glass, entirely made in France. These creations are treasures that bear witness to artisanal know-how passed down with passion.

Biot is only 20 minutes from our gîtes (www.locations-06.fr), making it an ideal destination for a cultural and artistic excursion. In addition, the Fernand Léger museum, dedicated to the famous painter, is a must-see. His vibrant and modern works blend harmoniously into the artistic atmosphere of the village.

But Biot is not just about art and crafts: its cobbled streets, picturesque arches and weekly market make it a lively and authentic village. Visitors will find a warm and typically Provençal atmosphere, perfect for strolling or tasting local products.

For nature lovers, the Bréguières Departmental Natural Park, located between Biot and Valbonne, offers an exceptional setting. Covering 480 hectares, just 6 km from the Mediterranean, this park is a veritable green haven. You can discover many historical remains, such as old mills, traces of coal millstones, the Pierres à Four cinerite quarries, as well as clues revealing an ancient Roman presence.

Whether you are passionate about art, history or nature, Biot will seduce you with its unique charm and its many facets.
