It seems that Biot is an ancient volcano, or rather the village is located near a volcano, when we consider the fact that this region of the Southern Alps is actually an ancient tectonic reef. In addition to this, before the construction of habitats, volcanic rocks were discovered in the ground locally. Biot boasts a large range of historical sites and landmarks from the past, of which the church Saint Marie Madeleine, The Arcades' Square & Migranier's Gate are perfect examples.
