Trip to Biot

Since we didn't get to Biot yesterday, J & P decided to take us to Biot... a small old village famous for its glasswear.  Again the roads continued to be a challenge, even with GPS.  We felt better about having had had the same trouble when we were here before.  We had thought it was just us but we guess that the French have the same problem figuring out the signs.   A t last we got to the village, squeezed into another microscopic parking garage and found a restaurant under the trees in the town square.  Lunch was pleasant, the day warm and lazy.  We walked around the town (we had been there before but late in a brisk November afternoon when much was closed).

 Biot is a perched village, medieval in history and design.  The old town is high on a hill with steep drops on all sides.  One can understand how these towns resisted invaders.  We wandered around the narrow steep streets and thought how it must have been to live here in earlier times.

 We went to the glass factory and watched the glassblowing and then looked around the museum and store.

Returning to Cannes, we again took many wrong turns but at last arrived.  Before going to the apartment, we stopped for a last late afternoon swim in the warm waters of the Mediterrean.  What a lovely way to end a visit to Cannes.
