Biot
Biot – Ville et Métiers d'Art (Town of Arts and Crafts) - is beautifully perched high overlooking the Mediterranean. With roughly 10 kms to, and exactly halfway between, both Nice and Sophia Antipolis, Europe’s leading Science and Technology Park, Biot is also only 5 kms from top Cote d’Azur yacht destination, Antibes. Biot proudly presents itself as a Mediterranean jewel. A small traditional village of no more than 10.000 inhabitants who through the ages have shown how to preserve their quality of life as well as a sense of history. Biot presents the discerning buyer a real opportunity for a great investment.
The community of Biot spans into the hugely successful Sophia Antipolis, Science and Technology Park below. Property in Biot benefits not only from its historical and incredibly scenic setting but also from being this close to over 1200 internationally renowned businesses in Sophia Antipolis. Below Biot and founded in the 1970s Sophia Antipolis employs a highly skilful labour force of in excess of 25.000 employees from around the globe. Iconic names in their fields such as Air France, Capgemini, IBM and Honeywell attract an affluent, young and culturally sophisticated workforce, many of whom are helping to shape the future of the surrounding villages. A mere 5kms away, it is not surprising that real estate Biot is highly sought after.
Biot was famous, thanks to its surrounding clay pits, as a pottery centre from the 16th through the 18th century. Today it has re-invented itself as somewhat of a 21st century artist haven. In 1956 the Biot glass factory was opened and sparked the rebirth of this remarkable medieval village for artists of several crafts. Today the atelier employs 15 master glass blowers and along with the Fernand Léger National Museum, dedicated to this famous avant garde cubist artist, who settled in Biot, forms part of the many cultural attractions found here. An extremely ‘alive’ village, Biot also stages several annual cultural events such as the Templier festival, a look back at times when the Knights Templars inhabited Biot, the Biot music festival as well as outdoor cinema and theatre.
Further afield from the narrow, charming medieval alleys of Biot itself, the valley of the River Brague offers a superb backdrop for weekend hiking (11 marked itineraries span the park), riding and relaxing. The surrounding Valbonne area includes several first class golf courses and of course the stunning French Riviera with destinations such as Nice, Antibes and Cannes is only a short drive away. Property in Biot represents a superb investment, both in terms of proximity to international employment opportunities, as well as through being surrounded by some of Europe’s top leisure possibilities.
