Biot (the final "t" is voiced) is a picturesque village on rising ground some 4 km / 2.5 miles inland. Cut flowers - roses, carnations, mimosa and anemones - are grown here for market. Since 1960 its name has been inseparably linked with that of the artist Fernard Léger (1881-1955).

Biot has long been known for its pottery, as the area is rich in clay, sand, manganese and volcanic tufa (stone used for ovens). Amphorae from Biot were very popular until the mid 18th Century and were exported through the ports of Antibes and Marseille.

It has now diversified and has developed into an important craft centre. The Musée national Fernard-Léger is Southeast of the village and contains 348 works by Léger.

A Bonsaï arboretum (Chemen du Val de Pôme) is located near to the Léger museum and displays a large collection of bonsai trees against thebackdrop of a reconstructed Japanese garden, as well as other tropical plants in nearby greenhouses.

The evening is the best time to appreciate the authentic charm of the picturesque streets, starting from the Tourist Information Centre (syndicat d'initiative) and following the arrows, through the town gates, Porte des Migraniers (grenadiers) and Porte des Tines (both 16th Century), and emerging into the beautiful place des Arcades with its rounded and pointed arches.
