Transfer Nice Airport to Biot
A short drive inland from the coast lies one of the Riviera’s great craft towns. Biot is famous the world over for its bubbled glassware, blown by hand in workshops you can still watch at work — and it hides a golden-stone medieval village and a museum dedicated to Fernand Léger. It’s just 18 km from Nice Airport, around 20 minutes by private car.
The Journey to Biot
From Nice Airport, your driver heads west along the coast toward Antibes, then turns a few kilometres inland and up to the village of Biot. The whole trip takes about 20 minutes. With flight tracking, your chauffeur is waiting at arrivals whatever time you land — no queuing for a taxi, no working out the way to a village most drivers don’t know.
Biot has been a town of makers since the Middle Ages — first potters, then, from the 1950s, glassmakers who perfected the technique of verre bullé, glass shot through with tiny bubbles. The old village of arcaded squares and honey-coloured stone sits above, while the Fernand Léger National Museum, wrapped in a giant ceramic mural, stands nearby.
