Biot, Medieval hilltop commune in French Riviera, France
The elevated village of Biot sits between Nice and Cannes, featuring narrow stone streets and traditional Provençal buildings surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation.
Knights Templar received Biot as a donation in 1209 from the Count of Provence, establishing the central square, church, and initial residential structures.
Glass artisans in Biot maintain centuries-old traditions in six active glass factories, producing distinctive pieces that reflect the region's artistic heritage.
The village integrates into the Sophia Antipolis technology park, connecting traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation through numerous businesses and educational facilities.
Located on ancient volcanic flows, Biot's eastern section contains geological formations and extraction sites that reveal its volcanic past.
