A must see !

You cannot spend your stay in our beautiful region without going to discover the Verrerie de Biot. More than the discovery of a trade, you will leave amazed and almost moved as the know-how is precise and ancestral. The glassmaker’s hall (whose entry is free) will allow you to watch 15 master glassmakers at work. They draw living matter from the fire, blow, create and shape before your eyes unique and original objects. Their dexterity and their power will make you capsize. More than artisans, they are real artists.

Just a few kilometers from Antibes, Biot is a neighboring town. Alone or with your family, a visit to the glassworks will allow you to discover the world and history of glass through a museum and the work of master glassmakers live. You can go around the area with regular guided tours.

Before or after your visit to the glassworks, you can stroll through the streets of the city. True historic city and typical of the region, you can admire an architecture that has kept its charm of yesteryear. Its cobbled streets and colorful facades will not leave you unmoved. You can take advantage of it to enjoy an ice cream or have lunch on the terrace in the shade of the plane trees. In Biot, time stands still to make way for the Dolce Vita.
The city of Biot has become a vacation spot for many artists who have been inspired by these places. The Verrerie de Biot welcomes nearly 700,000 visitors each year. It’s your turn to enjoy a day between discovery and idleness. And if you crack, you will come back with some vases or other glass objects to decorate your interior.
