Do you want to discover the most beautiful villages and towns on the French Riviera?
The ones that make you dream?
Here is a selection of the most stunning places in the Alpes-Maritimes just for you
The Fascinating Art of Glassblowing...
Biot, a charming village on the French Riviera, captivates visitors with its authenticity, artistic heritage, and natural beauty. Located just a few kilometers from the Mediterranean, this perched town offers a blend of history, craftsmanship, and picturesque landscapes.
The heart of the village takes you on a journey through time with its cobblestone streets, stone houses, and ancient doorways.
Biot thrives to the rhythm of exhibitions that highlight the village’s rich cultural heritage and take visitors on a journey through its history.
The three must-see museums in Biot are the Fernand Léger National Museum, the Glass Ecomuseum (Verrerie de Biot), and the Museum of Biot History and Ceramics.
The only museum in the world dedicated to Fernand Léger, it is located in his former villa, Mas Saint-André, at the foot of the old village. Open since 1960, the museum houses a collection of 300 to 400 works, including paintings, drawings, ceramics, sculptures, and mosaics.
The building, designed by André Svetchine, stands out with its mosaic-covered façade — originally intended
for an unrealized stadium project in Hanover — and two later extensions (1987 and 2004) featuring contemporary artworks and enhanced natural lighting.

Every year in early April, the town of Biot invites you on a journey to the heart of the Middle Ages, to meet the Templars.

Throughout the weekend, activities, workshops, and demonstrations punctuate the event: weapons handling, chainmail making, and even coin minting.
A fascinating immersion to discover medieval daily life and plunge into an authentic, friendly, and spectacular atmosphere.

From refined bistro fare to rustic crêpes and Italian flavors, from fresh seafood to organic local produce, the village of Biot offers a diverse and charming culinary scene, perfect for a gourmet meal in an authentic setting.
