La Verrerie de Biot

A truly gorgeous place close to Antibes, interesting both for adults and kids, the glassworks gallery is a true gem , there is a shop with an impressive variety of souvenirs And glassware, the parking is really huge

Mixed feelings. The glasswork is very heavy, so it'd be too heavy to use a champagne glass once full. It's not delicate. It's also very expensive for what it is, particularly with the poor quality control. The rim for several glasses was defective, even if they were sold as top pieces (not seconds). The glasses weren't all straight either. Overall, their specialty is clear (bubbles in glasses) and some of their artistic pieces are interesting, but the mass production is not very good.

If you come to Biot you must visit this shop/museum/factory/gallery. Plenty of parking spaces when we went in October. None of the restaurants were open when we went (we were there over lunch time, but maybe they have closed down for the non tourist season?) The glass shop was beautiful and full of kitchenware, vases and other glaassware made on site. I gave glass blowing a go. It was a very cool experience! The lovely staff spoke to me in French but spoke very slowly so I could understand the instruction. They guide you through the whole process and it was very easy yet hands on. You can't take your creation home on the day, you have to return 2 days later. It cost me 68€ for the experience and I get to take home a vase created my me! Toilets located on site. Art gallery on site exhibiting local glass makers. Parking is free if you purchase something from the shop, just ask the lady in the shop to validate your parking ticket.

It's a joke of a place. You can observe the workers blowing glass and the shop selling their product is right next door. 115 euro for one champagne flute, that's not that well crafted. 60 euro for vases and pitchers. Just someone pulling an idea for a "business" out of you-know-what with no ability to make it a success.

Out here from CA and enjoyed the day in Biot! The museum had some impressive galleries if you are interested in glass and the class was 68 euros which was very fair considering the item you take home is for sale in the shop at almost double the price. Rest of town was fun to explore as well would definitely recommend!

Interesting glass craft workshop and glass showroom. Definitely worth a visit - watch as several glass blowers make various glass items. There’s a small section with historical information about Biot Glass, and a showroom full of beautiful glass items for sale, all in a variety of colours. Make sure you check the opening hours, and be aware that they close for lunch 1.30 - 2.30 everyday.

Very interesting to see. Wonderfull pieces for purchas at reasonable price. Also great glass art pieces on display.

Marine and Sarah were amazing hosts. They took great care of our kids and made sure the kids had an amazing glass blowing experience. Highly recommended activity for kids.
