A village of ceramic tradition

The technical know-how in Vallauris has attracted a great many artists that have come to learn more about the art of pottery making. Two such artists firmly placed the name of Vallauris on the map: Picasso and, more recently, Jean Marais. Find out more about them and their work in Vallauris.


The Kitsch ceramics museum


This museum in the old town of Vallauris shows Gil Camatte’s collection who for 40 years passionately assembled thousands of various items sold to visitors to Vallauris Golfe-Juan from the 60’s to the 80’s.
They are happy memories of a time when cicadas, “bambis”, poodles, domestic or exotic animals constituted a colourful universe that was to be the source of inspiration for generations of anonymous ceramicists who dared everything.
You will be delighted to discover or rediscover these ceramics of modest popular art testifying to the history of pottery of Vallauris.
