Biot
Biot is a small town near Antibes, between Nice and Cannes, a little inland from the French riviera.
Despite its location, it is slightly off the main routes that cross the region and is much quieter than many of the towns in the area.
The village is best known for:
- its glass-blowing - and there are many shops and workshops that will introduce you to the art - and sell you examples
- Fernand Leger. There is a museum dedicated to the well known modern artist Fernand Leger on the edge of the town, with an interesting collection that shows you live and carrer of the painter as it developed over the earlier decades of the 20th century.
The village is also very pretty in its own right, with narrow streets lined with attractive houses and numerous small features to catch your attention.
The position of Biot means it qualifies as a Provencal perched village and it has the fortifications and entry gate that originally helped protect the town.
