Nérolium (see also Pic551489), Vallauris 2017. The ceramic exhibitions were held from 1946. The agricultural cooperative Nérolium was a distillery. Its name came from néroli, essential oil from the distillation of the flower of the bitter orange blossom once in a year in May.

At the end of a narrow, shadowed alley in Vallauris, the sunlit facade of the Nérolium building is inscribed with its name and the year 1920. Once an agricultural cooperative and distillery, its name derives from néroli, the essential oil of the bitter orange blossom. The light-yellow structure with its terracotta-tiled roof, flanked by older, shuttered buildings, also hosted ceramic exhibitions from 1946. Dark green barriers line the pavement under a clear blue sky.
