Vallauris lies close to the sea among rounded hills covered with orange trees and mimosa. The centre is laid out on a grid plan. The town was razed to the ground in 1390 and rebuilt and repopulated in the 16th Century by immigrants from neighbouring regions.

The town's traditional craft of pottery was in decline until Picasso infused it with new life. Vallauris is now an important French centre for ceramics: its Bienniel Internatuinal Festival of Ceramic Art (Jully to mid-October) has a worldwide reputation.

The local commercial scene also includes cut flowers and aromatic plants. The Musée national "La Guerre et la Paix" is situated in the old Romanesque chapel of the former priory. Deconsecrated, it was decorated in 1952 by Picasso with a huge composition "War and Peace".

This work evokes the horrors of war; black invaders, trampling the symbols of civilisation underfoot, attack a knight in shining armour who is just (his spear forms the arm of a balance) and peaceful (his shield bears the device of a dove). The figures on the opposite wall are indulging in fruitful work and the innocent joys of peace. The end panel symbolises the fraternity between races.
