We continue to visit villages and our next visit takes us to Biot, another picturesque perched medieval village dating back to 154BC located about 20km from Nice and very close to the beaches.
Famous for its pottery, Biot is also renowned for its glassworks; clear/colored transparent glass with bubbles. One can watch the glass blowing process at glassworks located downhill from the village.
