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.

Sunlight illuminates the Nérolium building at the end of a narrow, paved alley in Vallauris. Originally an agricultural cooperative and a distillery producing néroli—an essential oil from bitter orange blossoms—the venue famously hosted the town's annual ceramic exhibitions from 1946. The pale-yellow facade, marked with the year "1920," is framed by a terracotta-colored building on the left and a weathered stone wall on the right, with the foreground cast in shadow.
