Biot is also named as “The City Of Glass”.
I viewed 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.

I am always amazed at the artistic ability of glass blowing. Just watching it being done is like watching something so fragile and yet so strong being given life…it truly is an experience. Thank you for the reminder of a very memorable experience. Great photos!
