Biot and the local area Côte d'Azur, South of France

Biotis built on a headland that is typical of this type of hill top village (Mougins, St Paul de Vence, Cagnes old town etc) and overlooks the sea. It is one of the art centres of the south of France.It is famous for its decorative pottery and glasswork.

Apart from its beautiful location, a major reason to visit Biot is for the potteries and glassworks (Verreries) and the Fernand Léger Museum (Musée Fernand Léger). The artist Fernand Léger made the village his home and both it and its people had a profound effect on his work.
