Biot is also named as “The City Of Glass”.
I studied the process of glass-blowing in Biot. That’s a magic prosess.
Biot is not faraway from Nice, It quite different from other city of Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur area because of glass.
Biot is rich in fine clays, sand, manganese and volcanic tufa. It has been a source of pottery since antiquity. The pottery made in Biot were exported worldwide until the 18th century.
