View from a golf course in Biot

Biot is a very popular medieval village which actually dates back to 154 B.

C. Biot is also an ancient “Knights of the Temple” domain and you still find old fortifications like Porte des Migraniers from 1566. Despite the fact that Biot is often overrun by tourists in the high season, it keeps its natural charm with its medieval gates, vaulted passages, stairways and beautiful stone houses and it is definitely worth a visit.
Glass from Biot

Biot is best known for its special glassware with bubbles.

In La Verrerie de Biot you can watch the master artisans while they are working. Biot also has an interesting Léger-museum, entirely dedicated to the cubist artist Fernand Léger. The Léger- museum is in an impressive building southeast of Biot.
