Belle Villa Provençale Avec Vue Sur La Mer

Biot is a medieval hilltop village in the Alpes-Maritimes, set between Antibes and Cannes on the Côte d’Azur. Its cobblestone lanes, vaulted arcades, and ochre-toned facades have remained largely intact, giving the village a density of character that newer coastal developments cannot replicate. Biot is internationally recognised as a centre of glassblowing craft, a tradition established here in the 1950s that continues to define its cultural identity and draw a discerning, arts-oriented community.

Daily life in Biot centres on the Place des Arcades, where the weekly market and year-round cafés anchor village routines. The Musée National Fernand Léger sits just below the village. Antibes, with its covered Marché Provençal and Old Town restaurants, is a 10-minute drive. Sophia Antipolis, the technology park, is equally close, making Biot practical for professionals as well as retirees.

Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport is approximately 20 kilometres from Biot, reachable in around 25 minutes by car, with direct flights to most major European cities and connections beyond. The A8 motorway provides fast access to Monaco (40 minutes) and Marseille (roughly two hours). Antibes train station, served by TGV and regional rail, connects to Paris in under six hours and to the broader Riviera corridor in minutes.
