Biot's glassblowing tradition is younger than it looks. La Verrerie de Biot was founded in 1956 by Éloi Monod, an engineer and ceramist trained at the École de Sèvres who set out to revive traditional glassmaking. His signature discovery — bubbles of carbon dioxide trapped between two layers of glass, created by sprinkling bicarbonate that evaporates during firing — started as an accident but became the workshop's defining style, known today as verre bullé, or 'bubble glass.' The Lechaczynski family took over the workshop in 1974, and generations of glassmakers trained there have given Biot its international reputation.
The route also passes through Cannes, where the Palais des Festivals has hosted the Cannes Film Festival since its first edition in 1946, and Antibes, home to the Picasso Museum inside the 14th-century Château Grimaldi — the building where Picasso worked for two months in 1946 before it became, in 1966, the world's first museum dedicated to his work.
Saint-Paul-de-Vence's walled old town is older than its reputation as an artist colony. The village was first fortified as a castrum in 1117, and after two Savoyard invasions in the 1520s and 1530s, King Francis I ordered its defenses rebuilt in the 1540s — a one-kilometre bastioned perimeter, among the first of its kind designed by a French military architect, that still rings the village largely unchanged. Guests can walk its narrow central street, Rue Grande, inside walls that have stood since the Renaissance.
