Taxi Nice — Biot
The glassblowers' village and Fernand Léger on the Côte d'Azur
A taxi between Nice and Biot costs between €45 and €55 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 22 kilometres and a journey time of from 25 to 40 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A8, exit 44, Biot, with ~€2 in tolls (Nice–Biot section). A van for up to seven passengers starts at €70. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

Biot is a medieval village perched on a hillside between Nice and Antibes, world-famous for its glass art. Since the 1950s, when the Verrerie de Biot revived the tradition of bubble-blown glass, the village has become a premier centre for art craftsmanship on the Côte d'Azur. The glassblowing workshops, open to visitors, offer a fascinating spectacle as artisans blow, turn and shape molten glass before your eyes. The Fernand Léger National Museum, set at the foot of the village in a building decorated with a monumental mosaic, houses the world's largest collection of works by this master of cubism and modern art. The historic village itself deserves thorough exploration: its 16th-century ramparts, fortified gateway, Place aux Arcades with its pointed arches and restored medieval houses form a remarkable architectural ensemble. The Church of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine contains an altarpiece of the Rosary attributed to Louis Bréa (15th century), and the Chapel of Saint-Julien houses Romanesque frescoes. At the foot of the village, Marineland and its adjacent parks (Aquasplash, Adventure Golf) attract families. The journey from Nice via the A8 motorway takes just 25 minutes and offers views over the hinterland hills.
Route
Route Nice → Biot
From Nice, take the A8 motorway towards Aix-en-Provence / Cannes. Exit at junction 44 'Biot' and follow the D4 towards the medieval village. The road climbs gently through pines and olive trees to the perched village. For the Fernand Léger Museum, follow signs for 'Musée Léger' from the roundabout at the foot of the village — the museum has a large free car park. For the glassworks, continue towards the village centre and park at the upper car park (or the taxi drops you directly). The alternative via the D6007 coast road passes through Cagnes-sur-Mer then climbs to Biot, a longer route (35 min) but toll-free. Our drivers know both options and choose according to traffic.

Start your visit at the Verrerie de Biot (open daily except Sundays in winter) to watch the glassblowers in action — entry is free and the demonstrations are spectacular.
