Biot is already wrapped in magic: from 30 November to 30 December 2025, the glassmakers\u2019 town of the French Riviera welcomes residents and visitors with \u201cBiot j\u2019adore No\u00ebl\u201d<\/em>, a month-long celebration filled with lights, free events and fairytale atmospheres.<\/p>\n

Dazzling lights and scenic displays<\/h4>\n

The historic centre glows along the \u201cChemin des fa\u00e7ades\u201d, enriched this year with three new spectacular scenes: the Gingerbread House, the Teddy Bear Villa and the Frozen Kingdom. Every day until 24 December, an open-air Advent calendar surprise awaits passers-by.<\/p>\n

Christmas market and local craftsmanship<\/h4>\n

From 19 December, the traditional Christmas market opens with around thirty chalets showcasing artisanal creations, jewellery, decorations and cinnamon-scented treats. The perfect place to find unique gifts and savour festive delights.<\/p>\n

Meet the P\u00e8re No\u00ebl<\/h4>\n

Inside the Hedberg-Torun exhibition rooms, children can meet the P\u00e8re No\u00ebl, hand him their wishes and take home a memorable photo. Santa will be present until 30 December, appearing occasionally in the village streets as well.<\/p>\n

Light parades and performances<\/h4>\n

From 20 to 30 December, Biot comes alive with luminous parades: sparkling unicorns, colourful hot-air balloons, dancing bears and fantastic creatures enliven the streets, thanks to artistic companies from across Europe. A magical experience for all ages.<\/p>\n

Michelin-starred flavours<\/h4>\n

The Hedberg-Torun rooms also host a culinary festival featuring Michelin-starred chefs such as Massimo Viglietti, Jacques Rolancy, Micha\u00ebl Fulci and \u00c9milien Brietz, ready to reveal the secrets of their craft.<\/p>\n

Special events<\/h4>\n

On 12 December, the esplanade Saint-Philippe is the stage for the F\u00eate de la Sainte-Lucie, with a luminous parade and a sweet go\u00fbter for children. On 26 December, the \u201cMoon Boots\u201d night transforms Biot into a festive ski slope. On 30 December, the town closes the season with \u201cEn attendant Sylvestre\u201d, a collective toast to welcome 2026.<\/p>\n

Activities for children<\/h4>\n

From donkey rides through the village to sledding and giant wooden games, every corner of Biot becomes an adventure playground for young visitors.<\/p>\n

Biot shines as one of the most enchanting Christmas destinations on the French Riviera: a December full of emotions, traditions and moments to share with the whole family.<\/p>\n
