French Riviera Real Estate Options Forty Nine

Perched between the sea and the hills, Biot offers a rare blend of Provençal authenticity and long-term stability that makes it especially attractive for real estate investment. Unlike flashier Riviera hotspots that swing wildly with trends, Biot has protected its character: a medieval village core, strict planning rules, green zones, and a strong sense of place. This limits overdevelopment and helps preserve property values over time. Its location is another major asset—minutes from Sophia Antipolis, Antibes, and the A8, and within easy reach of Nice Airport—making it highly desirable for professionals, families, and retirees alike. Demand is steady, supply is naturally constrained, and that’s a recipe investors tend to like.

From a rental and resale perspective, Biot punches well above its weight. The presence of Sophia Antipolis creates consistent year-round demand for quality rentals, particularly villas and well-located apartments, while the village lifestyle and international reputation appeal strongly to foreign buyers looking for something more authentic than a resort town. Properties here attract tenants and buyers who stay longer, take better care of homes, and are less price-sensitive than seasonal tourists. Add in excellent schools, cultural cachet (glassmaking, art, festivals), and a calmer, more refined atmosphere, and Biot stands out as a smart, resilient investment with real long-term upside rather than speculative hype. With that, here is our property of the month in Biot: Biot Price: 5,150,000 EUR
