But epidemics and bands of plunderers decimate the dispersed population. The April 20th 1501, Dom Raynier Lascaris, prior of Lérins and lord of Vallauris, gives in perpetual Emphytéose the whole of the territory to families originating in her County of Vintimille, like with “other men wanting to live to that the place of Vallauris”. It imposes a plan for the rebuilding of the village. It is the origin of the “Castrum” called “old city today”. In this act of dwelling, it is already mentioned the Poterie of Vallauris, as well as glassmaking: “… Seigneur Prior says it… reserved the lesde or gabelle… of all the vases of ground and glass… which will be put on sale at the known as soil of Vallauris”.

With the passing of years, a municipal life is organized and evolved/moved, until in 1787 date of the Sécularisation of the Monastère of Lérins. Some examples of the evolution of demography: in 1540, there were 98 houses; in 1608, 200 houses; in 1698, 300 houses inhabited for 367 household heads; in 1765, 293 inhabited houses and 1309 inhabitants.

It is the passage of the lifestyle of the Moyen-âge at modern times: the installation of the Tram in 1899, the construction of the school of boys the same year, and of the school of girls in 1908. Electricity arrives in 1919. The War memorial goes back to 1923, and is due to the chisel of Delfoly.

The arrival of the water of the Channel of Siagne, about 1900, allowed the development of agriculture, and in particular of the culture of the orange tree with flower, the Bigaradier. Today, Vallauris is the only town of France where this tree is still cultivated to collect its flower and to distill it.
