Galerie Gabel

Eclectic contemporary art gallery in a XVth century village on french riviera between Cannes and Monaco

Reviewed By NorthStar64231

On the right-hand side, just when you have entered Bio Village, you are up for a pleasant surprise. The Gabel gallery has three small rooms filled with an outstanding and personal collection of paintings and statues. Again, this is a very personal collection that you rarely find in Côte d'Azur. I bought three objects.

Centre d'Art du Verre PIERINI

Installed since 1980 in an old oil mill dating back from the 15th century,the glass blowers benefit from an exceptional setting where Biot tradition and art join in harmony. It is in this magical place that Robert and Antoine PIERINI set their imagination free. Different exhibitions, thematic or collaborations are organized during the year.

Eglise de Biot

Reviewed By high_low73 - Bergen, Norway

This 15th-century catholic church is classified as a historic monument located in the heart of the village of Biot. Built perhaps by partially reusing elements of the original one built in the first century of 12th century. Found this church remarkable with great art and a perfect silence. It contains an exceptional altarpieces of the Virgin in the Rosary from the 16th century. It is special as you down to come to the nave of the church. This is a nice and quiet churh for some contemplation, regardless of if you're a believing or not believing person.
