No bus for us today, a nice train ride instead. We went to Biot, a tiny hill town just outside Antibes, known for pottery and glass blowing. The tiny streets remind me of St Paul de Vence, but without large number of tourists. We found a fantastic place for lunch, overlooking the hills. Visited the Leger Museum, built on land bought by Leger and filled with art given by his widow.
