TOWN PRESENTATION

Located in the heart of the Riviera between Nice and Cannes, five minutes from the Mediterranean, Biot holds incredible treasures. The city has a rich history of historical events (including Templars' stronghold). It enjoys a unique cultural and artistic heritage. The Musee National Fernand Léger, for example, is a prestigious witness. Today is the meeting place of some sixty artists from different disciplines (jewelers, glass blowers, potters, painters, illustrators, leather workers, blacksmiths, fresco ....) most of whom have their studios open to the public. Biot is also a paradise for the art of living. Many restaurants offer colors and flavors of Mediterranean cuisine. The sidewalk cafes are all invitations to relaxation and conviviality.
