I have known Biot since the summer of 1946. After the war, a journalist friend of my father offered to come to Biot on vacation. During a visit to a former pre-war press director, he offered him a plot of land with a tower. My father fell in love with Biot and he bought this land on the ramparts in 1949 to have a house built in 1950.

My father fell in love with Biot and he bought this land on the ramparts in 1949 to have a house built in 1950. Every year at Easter and every summer, we came to Biot in our house. My father worked there and we went to the beach in Juan les Pins by bus. My father made and offered wedding invitations and posters for village festivals. I got married in 1960 in Biot. I settled there permanently in 1960 and my 2 children, born in Paris, went to school in Biot. My parents are definitely leaving Paris for Biot. My parents, according to their wishes, are buried in the Rine cemetery in Biot. Like my father, I love Biot. Everyone knows me and thinks I've been there forever, in fact, I became biotoise at the age of 9. The links are not the same as in big cities. Everyone was "buddy", there was no money, no politics and everyone was generous. In 2008, in tribute to my father, his drawings were exhibited in the exhibition halls in Biot for 4 months, it was a very beautiful exhibition. Today, still Biotoise, always on the Chemin de Ronde, I am involved in associations such as "Le Don du sang" and "l'Amicale Biotoises des Traditions".
