Your project
Guessed from your location: an underlined word changes with a click.
Vallauris is two towns in one. The potters’ city on its hill: old stone lanes, ceramics workshops, the castle chapel where Picasso painted La Guerre et la Paix after discovering the Madoura workshop and clay in 1946. And Golfe-Juan, on the water’s edge: the harbour beneath the column recalling Napoleon’s landing in March 1815, the beaches, the station, Cannes seven kilometres away. ~29,000 residents live here all year round, between Antibes and Cannes and their calendars. What is bought here: the pottery house to renovate, the hillside villa with its view over the bay, the seafront apartment, in a town easier to reach and to live in than its neighbours.
A buyer’s agent works for the buyer, and for the buyer alone. Here is what Home Select changes, concretely, for your purchase in Vallauris.
A Home Select finder writes your brief, launches the search within the week and stays with you until the deed is signed. Home Select answers every enquiry within 24 working hours.
Home Select receives more than 100 off-market properties a day from its 15,000 partners, agents, notaries and managing agents, before they go on sale. The finest addresses in Vallauris often change hands this way.
Home Select pre-visits every property on commented video and shows only 3 properties on average, instead of 40 when searching alone, grouped into a single trip if you come from afar.
Home Select negotiates 6% on average off the asking price, with the area’s actual sales in hand, and checks every document before you commit. Also paid 10% of the negotiated reduction, Home Select has every reason to bring the price down: you keep 90% of every euro saved. Fees are due on success: nothing before signing.
A buyer-side search mandate, a written method, fees due on success. Here is what you entrust to Home Select in Vallauris.
They search on your behalf and for you alone, from the written brief to the checking of every document up to the final deed: the six steps are detailed below. Home Select works for the buyer, never for the seller.
A main home, a second home, a pied-à-terre or a long-term wealth purchase in Vallauris, whether you are on site or abroad: the search is run remotely, video viewings included, up to the decisive viewing.
Home Select runs two offers, with the same full service: the Exclusive offer, an exclusive mandate, 2.5% of the net purchase price, minimum €10,000 incl. VAT, at every budget; the Confidential offer, a simple mandate reserved for projects of €2m and above, 1.5% of the net purchase price, dedicated to off-market properties. In both cases, 10% of the negotiated reduction is added to the fees, and nothing is due until you have bought.
The calendar depends on the market in Vallauris and on how rare the target property is: Home Select sets it at the first conversation, then holds it, and answers within one working day.

Vieux Vallauris lived from pottery: on some former factory or kiln plots, the surveys and the state of the soils are read with care, above all if a change of use is planned. Ask for the history of the parcel at the town hall and for the soils section of the surveys before the offer.
The houses of Vieux Vallauris huddle together: walls, roofs, courtyards and staircases shared, openings subject to the neighbours’ rights. An extension or terrace project is played out with the adjoining owner, and the easements sit on the title. These points are read before the offer; they make or break a renovation project.
In Golfe-Juan, the waterfront addresses are read together with the risk report: flooding, by-laws, planned protection works. Add the charges of the older co-ownerships, sometimes heavy behind a renovated façade: façade works, waterproofing, pipes. The maintenance log says the rest.
From your brief to the handover of the keys: what Home Select does for you in Vallauris, and what you gain from it.
Everything starts with a thorough conversation: the use of the property, the real budget, the non-negotiable criteria, the calendar. This written framing becomes the roadmap of the hunt, and avoids the months lost viewing beside the point.
Every property put to you matches your brief: the search hits the mark from the first week.
Home Select covers the whole market: published listings, and above all what is never displayed anywhere. Home Select receives more than 100 properties every day from its 15,000 professional partners before they go on sale, and approaches owners directly when the setting calls for it.
You see properties before the market does, and sometimes properties that will never be published.
Every lead is verified and analysed for you, on file then on a video viewing: technical sheet, first figures. You only travel for properties that truly match the brief.
Fewer journeys: your decisive viewings grouped into a single trip, on the shortlisted properties only.
The offer is drafted and defended by Home Select, complete file in hand. The negotiation covers the price, but also the conditions, the timelines and the works revealed.
You buy at the right price, every offer defended with the area’s actual sales in hand.
Preliminary contract read line by line, surveys, co-ownership rules, charges, easements: every document is checked before you commit. The points of vigilance specific to each local market are in Home Select’s checklists.
You commit with full knowledge of the facts, with no bad surprise after signing.
Home Select stays by your side through to the signing before the notaire, and after: contractors, formalities, moving. Its work ends when you are settled in, not when the deed is signed.
A timetable framed at the first conversation, then kept: at every stage you know where your purchase stands.
A share of the finest sales in Vallauris completes without ever being listed. Home Select receives more than 100 properties every day from its 15,000 professional partners before publication, and also approaches owners directly when the setting calls for it.
Two offers, the same full service, paid on success only: the Exclusive offer, 2.5% of the net purchase price (minimum €10,000 incl. VAT), at every budget, and the Confidential offer, 1.5%, for projects of €2m and above, plus 10% of the negotiated reduction in both cases. Nothing is due until you have bought in Vallauris.

Page updated on 9 October 2026, reviewed by Jean Mascla, founder of Home Select
Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 691 sales were recorded in Vallauris: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses.
The median for apartments is up +6% since June 2022, +4% in the last year alone: the trend holds, and sellers know it.
Sales range from €2,600/m² to €6,800/m²: address and condition make the price.
The Vallauris market doubles its stake. In Golfe-Juan, the apartment rules: seafront residences, buildings from the sixties to today, view over the bay or onto a courtyard, a sorting done floor by floor, building by building. On the hill, the house: old pottery houses awaiting renovation, villas in the quiet residential quarters, rare plots to build. Demand comes from Parisians won over by the station, internationals who extend Cannes eastwards, families who want the sea without giving up neighbourhood life. A town that sells all year round, a step away from Juan-les-Pins.
The old house of Vieux Vallauris is read before it is visited: adjoining walls, load-bearing walls, damp in the old buildings, the legacy of the ceramics factories whose soils are checked document in hand on some plots. In the heights, the listing puts the view forward, the bay of Cannes and the Estérel at sunset; it forgets the slope, the retaining walls and the water network. In Golfe-Juan lastly, the sea has its plans: risk reports and by-laws are read for the waterfront addresses, and the charges of the older residences weigh as much as the view they open.
The calendar follows the coast: spring and September carry the market, summer drowns the viewings under the parasols of Golfe-Juan, the late season and winter give the town back to the Vallauriens, often the best time to visit seriously. Home Select runs the search remotely, from its management and with its network of 15,000 partners: every property is qualified on documents and in a video pre-viewing, its price is set against real sales from the DVF records, and the decisive viewings are grouped into a single trip. The negotiation rests on facts, never on an impression.

Median for apartments over 12 months to end of June, year by year. A period without enough sales at the threshold is not published: the curve skips it rather than inventing a point.
The city and its department: Vallauris trades 12% below its department median (€4,900/m²), same vintage and same method.
Source: DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, October 2026 release, 12 months to end of June 2026. Medians computed per transaction, published from 20 sales over the period. Market benchmarks, not an appraisal of your property. Updated: October 2026.
From the potters’ lanes to the quays of Golfe-Juan, Vallauris runs from the old house to renovate to the hillside villas, the sea never far.
The pottery hill: sloping lanes, workshops and old kilns, the castle chapel and the national Picasso museum La Guerre et la Paix, the Madoura workshop close by. The old house here is dense, adjoining, awaiting renovation for the most part; creatives and lovers of character contend for the best lanes. Access, damp and soil reports on the former factories are checked before the offer.
The seafront: the harbour and its quays, the beaches facing the bay of Cannes, the column recalling the 1815 landing, the station on the main coastal line. The apartment dominates here, from studios to terrace floors; the house can almost be counted on one’s fingers. Real view, charges and risk reports make the gap between two twin listings.
The hills above the old town: recent villas and small residences from the sixties and seventies, gardens, sometimes a pool, wide views over the bay and the Estérel on a clear day. The family address, five minutes from the harbour and ten from Cannes. Slope, retaining walls and water supply are checked along with the house.
To the north-east, the sector climbing towards Biot and the first hills of Sophia Antipolis: houses with gardens, discreet villas, horizons of hills rather than sea. The choice of calm and land, minutes from the technology park by road, for those who prefer pines to quays. Access and brush clearance are checked as everywhere at the woodland edge.
The western end of the bay, where the coast turns towards Cannes: beaches facing the Suquet and the Îles de Lérins, buildings catching the sunset, the coast road leading to the Palais des festivals in ten minutes or so. A practical sector, sought by those who work in Cannes and want the beach on foot.
The market, the neighbourhoods, the addresses
We find the property of your dreams in Vallauris
Vallauris at a glance
Life in Vallauris keeps two clocks. The old town, on its hill: lanes, ceramics workshops, the castle chapel and the national Picasso museum La Guerre et la Paix, the Madoura workshop, where Picasso came back to shape clay after 1946. Shops, schools and markets cover the week; ceramic creation shows there from one season to the next.
Below, Golfe-Juan lives to the rhythm of the harbour: quays, beaches, restaurants, the column of the 1815 landing, the station on the main coastal line leading to Cannes in a few minutes and to Nice in half an hour. Antibes and Juan-les-Pins touch the commune to the east, Cannes borders it to the west, and Nice airport is half an hour away along the coast road.
Vallauris sells two kinds of value: the sea-view flat of Golfe-Juan, which follows the Cannes coast, and the potter’s house of the old village, rare heritage that creatives bring back. Liquidity plays floor by floor on the seafront, house by house on the hill.
Golfe-Juan for the flat with a terrace, port, beach and station on foot; the heights for the villa and its view over the bay of Cannes and the Estérel. Old Vallauris sells the old house to renovate, lanes, workshops and former kilns included.
The commune, about 29,000 residents, lives year round between Cannes and Antibes: old-village shops, markets, schools, and both neighbours’ offer at the door. The regional train from Golfe-Juan puts Cannes minutes away and Nice half an hour, the airport remains half an hour by road.
Golfe-Juan station, on the Cannes-Ventimiglia line, takes regional trains to Cannes in minutes, Antibes and Nice beyond, the TGVs calling at Cannes seven kilometres away. Nice-Côte d’Azur airport is half an hour by motorway or the coast road, and Golfe-Juan’s port lives all year.
The international community in Vallauris. The potters’ town, where Picasso came back from 1946, keeps an international clientele of creatives and collectors around the ceramics workshops, joined by the European residents of Golfe-Juan between Cannes and Antibes. Shops, beaches and the station complete the picture: a commune easier to reach than its neighbours, alive all year.
When to visit, when to buy? Spring and the September return carry the market; summer drowns viewings under Golfe-Juan’s parasols. Late season and winter give the town back to its residents: often the best time to visit seriously and negotiate.
Because the local market has its own rules. Vieux Vallauris: adjoining walls, damp in the old buildings and soil reports on the former factories to check on documents. A buyer’s agent works for you alone, on the buyer’s side: daily monitoring, access to off-market sales, strict shortlisting and negotiation. Since 2011, Home Select has run more than 1,200 searches with this method, rated 4.8/5 on Google.
Based on actual recorded sales (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, October 2026 release, 12 months to end of June 2026), the median price in Vallauris stands at €4,300/m² for an apartment and €6,100/m² for a house. The highest-priced sector in the survey: Cannes, €5,800/m² median. These medians are market benchmarks, not an appraisal: the address, the floor, the condition and scarcity make the final price.
Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 2 rooms traded at a median of €4,300/m², on a median surface of 44 sqm (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, October 2026 release, 12 months to end of June 2026). A median home of the bracket changes hands around €189,000; condition, floor and address then make the rest of the price.
Two clear uses. The old town gives the pottery house, the workshops, village life on foot, in exchange for access constraints and often works. Golfe-Juan gives the beach, the harbour and the station, in a market of apartments where the view and the charges make the difference. The heights settle it: house with garden, view over the bay, five minutes from the harbour. The right choice follows the use, the season, and the works budget, which Home Select has costed before the offer.
A history first: built against one another, these houses share walls, roofs and courtyards, and openings are settled with the neighbour. The legacy next: the quarter lived from ceramics, and on some former factory plots, the state of the soils is checked document in hand with the surveys. Damp last, natural on a rocky hill. Nothing is fatal if everything is read before the offer: Home Select has these points audited on documents, then on site.
Over the 12 months to end of June 2026, 691 sales were recorded in Vallauris: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses. The median for apartments is up +6% since June 2022, +4% in the last year alone: the trend holds, and sellers know it.
The calendar depends on how rare the target property is in Vallauris and on your availability: Home Select frames it at the brief, then holds it. Properties are first seen on video, and your decisive viewings are grouped into a single trip.
Through the network and direct approach: Home Select receives more than 100 properties every day from its 15,000 professional partners before they go on sale, and also contacts owners when the setting calls for it. In Vallauris, the monitoring starts with two sectors: Vieux Vallauris, the potters’ quarter, then Golfe-Juan, the harbour and the beaches. That is often where the unfindable property is.
Golfe-Juan for the sea: beach, harbour, station, restaurants, a market of apartments where the view and the charges make the difference. The old town for the stone: pottery houses, workshops, views over the rooftops, a connoisseurs’ market that accepts works. The heights settle it: villa, garden, five minutes from the harbour. Use decides, and the comparison happens in a video pre-viewing before any trip.
Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Vallauris, runs the search remotely from its management, with its network of 15,000 partners. The brief is set by video call, every property is qualified on documents then in a video pre-viewing run with the seller’s agent, and the price is tested against comparable DVF sales before the negotiation. You come only for the decisive viewings, grouped into a single trip; Home Select then secures the purchase and coordinates the notaire.
Antibes offers the cape, the ramparts and the Provençal market, in an image known the world over. Vallauris offers the same sea at Golfe-Juan, a quieter pottery heart and heights looking over the bay of Cannes. The two stations follow each other on the same line. Use decides: the Antibes shop window on one side, the hill and the harbour on the other; honest comparisons are made on documents, not on postcards.
The slope and its retaining walls, the water drainage, lorry access for the works. The view last: what it shows today, what the vegetation and the neighbouring builds will leave of it tomorrow, to be controlled window by window and against the planning certificate. At the woodland edge, brush clearance adds to the routine upkeep. Home Select has these points checked on documents before any offer.
Yes: ~29,000 residents already do, between the shops of the old town, the harbour of Golfe-Juan, the schools and the markets. Winter gives the town back to the Vallauriens, the ceramics workshops keep turning, and Cannes stays seven kilometres away for work as for the festival. Golfe-Juan station puts Nice half an hour away by train, Cannes a few minutes.
September and spring carry the market; summer turns Golfe-Juan into a resort, to the detriment of calm viewings. The late season gives the town back to its residents: it is often then that files move best. The right method: brief set remotely, video pre-viewings to sort, then a single trip for the decisive viewings.
Yes, though not as a local branch: outside Île-de-France, Home Select runs every search from its head office, with its network of 15,000 professional partners. Each property is vetted on paper, then toured in a video pre-viewing led with the seller’s agent, and you travel only once, for the decisive viewings. The guide “Buying property in France remotely” spells out how it works.
To hunt in Vallauris, check four points: a search mandate on the buyer’s side only, published fees due on success, a written method, proof that lasts. Home Select answers all four: founded in 2011, 1,200+ buyers guided, 4.8/5 on Google (140 reviews), fees displayed, 100% on success.
Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Vallauris, charges 2.5% of the net purchase price (minimum €10,000 incl. VAT) on the Exclusive offer, or 1.5% on the Confidential offer for projects of €2m and above, plus 10% of the negotiated reduction in both cases. Home Select is paid on success only, and also on what you save: nothing is due until you have bought.
The questions common to every city (purchase costs, remote search, choosing your finder) are gathered on one page.
One point of contact, one method, the same fees: the search does not stop at the limits of Vallauris. Many projects play out over two or three towns, and the brief allows for it from the first conversation.
