Vallauris lies between Antibes and Cannes, in the hinterland just inland from the French Riviera coast. The town is known for its history of ceramics, which you can explore in the workshops and collections of the old town. The hotel is in a more outlying area, where the beaches, parks and neighbouring towns are easy to reach by car. This address may suit travellers who want to explore several places along the coast without staying in a busy seaside resort.

Château de Vallauris houses the National Picasso Museum “War and Peace” as well as the Magnelli Museum, devoted to different aspects of local art and history. Plages du Midi are 4.1 km away; the coast offers seaside walks and opportunities for a swim in season. Valmasque Park and Bouillides Park offer walking areas and footpaths in leafy surroundings. Golfe-Juan Vallauris station, 4.1 km away, makes it easy to travel to coastal towns. Nice-Côte d’Azur Airport is 12 km away.

Spring and the shoulder season are well suited to cultural visits and walks, with temperatures often milder than in midsummer. In summer, the beaches attract more visitors; setting off early lets you enjoy the seafront before the busiest hours. You can combine a visit to Vallauris’s museums with a walk along the coast, then continue on to Antibes or Cannes. The nearby parks offer a shadier alternative when the sun is strong. A car gives you more flexibility for exploring the villages and attractions of the hinterland.
