Biot, a perched village of 9,700 residents between Antibes and Sophia Antipolis, is known worldwide for two reasons: its unique glass craftsmanship (the bubble-blown glass invented in 1956) and the national museum dedicated to painter Fernand Léger, installed in a purpose-built structure. Taxis are useful for transfers to NCE airport (25 minutes), Antibes (10 minutes) and Marineland park.
Biot is the capital of bubble-blown glass, a unique technique invented in 1956 by Éloi Monod at the Verrerie de Biot, which remains the only manufacturer in the world. The Fernand Léger Museum houses the world's largest collection of the artist, in a building with a façade-mosaic specially designed. Marineland, Europe's largest marine park, is in the town.
