A little history: Vallauris' link with pottery dates back to the beginning of time itself. In the Gallo-Roman era, the significant deposits of fireclay here were used to make bricks and pots. In the 15th century, the Plague wiped out local populations, and by the end of the century the area was deemed inhabitable, with only a few dozen families managing to survive in poverty. The region's lord at the time was a monk from Lerins and the prior of Vallauris. He had 70 families brought over from the county to rebuild and repopulate Vallauris and farm the local land. Pottery began being sold here early on, as the habitation act dated 1501 states: "the lord prior shall collect the salt tax for all earthenware vases to be sold in the area known as Vallauris". This item has one of the most famous names in pottery but is little known. The area is a great tourist destination today.
