Biot Residential Estate Panoramic Sea View

Biot is a medieval hilltop village in the Alpes-Maritimes, sitting between Antibes and Cannes at an elevation that commands views across the Baie des Anges toward the Mediterranean. The village is internationally recognized for its glassblowing tradition, centered on the Verrerie de Biot, and for its association with the sculptor Fernand Léger, whose dedicated museum sits just below the village. The old center retains its Genoese-influenced architecture, arcaded squares, and ramparts, giving it a density of character rare even on the Côte d’Azur.

The village center offers the weekly market on Place des Arcades, several well-regarded restaurants including Café de la Poste, and independent food shops for daily needs. Antibes, with its covered Marché Provençal and broader retail offer, is roughly ten minutes by car. Sophia Antipolis, Europe’s largest technology park, is immediately adjacent, making Biot a practical base for professionals.

Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport is approximately 20 kilometers from Biot, reachable in around 25 minutes by car, with direct flights to most major European cities and intercontinental connections. The A8 autoroute provides fast access to Monaco (35 minutes) and Cannes (20 minutes). Antibes train station, served by TGV and regional TER services, connects to Nice in under 20 minutes and to Marseille in roughly 2.5 hours.
