Verrerie de Biot

Lonely Planet may earn a commission from affiliate links on our site. All recommendations and reviews reflect our own independent opinions.

This famous factory at the foot of Biot village produces bubbled glass by rolling molten glass into baking soda; bubbles from the chemical reaction are then trapped by a second layer of glass. You can watch skilled glass-blowers at work and browse the adjacent art galleries and shop for free during opening hours. To arrange English-language tours, call ahead or write verrerie@verreriebiot.com. The attached one-room glass museum is rather underwhelming for the price.
