Biot, France: A Hidden Medieval Gem Near Nice on the French Riviera

Why visit Biot, France? Think cobblestones, glassmakers, art, and a slower side of the French Riviera. Biot is one of the French Riviera’s most charming medieval villages — and it’s just a short trip from Nice. In this video, we explore Biot’s old town and relaxed slow-life atmosphere.
Join us as we wander through the historic center, visit the legendary “Verrerie de Biot” glassblowers, stop by the Fernand Léger National Museum, and share two lovely restaurant tips. If you’re looking for an authentic half-day trip near Nice with pretty views, culture, and that laid-back Riviera vibe, Biot might be your perfect match.
We’re Anja and Aila from Riviera Go!, sharing our favorite places, hidden gems, and practical tips for exploring the Côte d’Azur.
