Biot
The village of Bio is over 2,500 years old, and retains much of
its medieval charm in the 15th-century architecture and narrow,
winding streets. The town has been a hub of craftsmen for
centuries, and is known for its pottery and blown glass, making it
a popular shopping destination for tourists in the French Riviera.
There are several glass-blowing factories that offer tours,
allowing you to watch the age-old process in action. Biot is also
the site of an ancient volcano, and geology buffs will enjoy hiking
the scenic rock formations. Located only 2.5 miles (4km) from the
coast, Biot makes an excellent day trip when you're tired of the
beach.
