It is then in 1815 that Napoleon landed and in the 19th century that real urban planning work was carried out, bringing about the transition from the Middle Ages to modern times. Numerous technical and social advances then took place in the 20th century. Indeed, in 1899, the tramway was installed and the boys' school was built. The girls' school was opened in 1908. A real revolution appeared in 1919 with the arrival of electricity. The development of agriculture, and more precisely, the cultivation of orange blossoms, was then possible thanks to the arrival of water from the Siagne Canal in 1900. Today, Vallauris is the only town in France cultivating this tree, and thus harvesting this flower for distillation.

Along with cultivating the land, industrial culinary pottery has always been the main activity of the city. It then became artistic pottery and ceramics in the 20th century.

The arrival of the railway and the creation of tourism in the second half of the 19th century allowed the expansion of the hamlet of Golfe-Juan. This is how illustrious personalities chose to build, on the edge of the hills, magnificent villas in which many celebrities were welcomed.

Vallauris is a town famous for its ceramics, which attracted many famous artists to settle there after World War II. For example, Pablo Picasso left beautiful legacies such as the "Man with a sheep" or the fresco "War and Peace", now in the National Museum. Thus, many personalities are linked to the town.

It is thus recognized as a city full of talent and cultural and environmental wealth.

Whether it is seaside or cultural, Vallauris is a real tourist centre. Economic activity there is stimulated by the Sophia Antipolis technology park, which brings together many companies and research workshops.

This beautiful town is also rich in culture thanks to its many museums. For example, the ceramics museum, known as the Magnelli Museum, is one of the few places in France representing modern ceramic creation. Also, the pottery museum presents a unique retrospective of clay work, as it was practiced in the past.

Other historical monuments and religious buildings characterize the city such as the Château Robert, the Château de l'Horizon, the Centre Héliomarin and the Sainte-Anne-Saint-Martin Church, the Chapelle de la Miséricorde, the Chapelle Notre-Dame-des-Grâces, the Chapelle Saint-Bernard, the Chapelle Saint-Roch or the Chapelle au Château.

Situated between Cannes and Nice, Vallauris is one of the seaside resorts still preserved with a real "village" and "family" atmosphere.
