In the sun-kissed town of Vallauris Golfe-Juan, the Château-Musée de Vallauris Golfe-Juan is a must-visit for art lovers, history enthusiasts, and travelers seeking authentic Côte d’Azur experiences. Originally a 12th-century monastic priory, the château was rebuilt in the 16th century in Renaissance style, featuring elegant towers and a majestic Florentine staircase. Today, it hosts three exceptional museums under one roof.
Why Stop at D-Marin Port Camille Rayon?
Located just minutes away from the château, D-Marin Port Camille Rayon is the ideal spot to dock your yacht or moor your boat before immersing yourself in Vallauris’ rich cultural scene. This modern marina offers top-class facilities and easy access to the town center, making it convenient for visitors arriving by sea.

Whether you’re sailing along the Côte d’Azur or enjoying a day trip, D-Marin Port Camille Rayon perfectly combines leisure and culture.
1. National Picasso Museum “War and Peace”
The highlight of the visit is found in the château’s Romanesque chapel: Pablo Picasso’s monumental works War and Peace, painted in 1952. Covering the vaulted ceilings with powerful imagery, these masterpieces reflect post-war tensions and hopes for harmony. The chapel’s subdued lighting and sacred architecture create an atmosphere that makes the experience unforgettable.
2. Magnelli Museum
Dedicated to Italian abstract painter Alberto Magnelli, this museum showcases his artistic evolution — from early figurative work to vibrant, geometric abstraction. The collection was made possible through donations from Magnelli’s widow, making it both intimate and historically significant.
3. Museum of Ceramics
Vallauris is world-renowned for its ceramics, and this museum celebrates that tradition. Visitors can admire ancient utilitarian pottery, Art Nouveau pieces, modern designs, and works tied to Picasso’s own experiments with clay. Since 1968, it has also hosted the prestigious Biennale Internationale de Céramique d’Art.
