Cell towers in Vallauris (Alpes-Maritimes)

Declared supports include 6 camouflaged "tree" pylons, with buildings making up most of the remainder.

Antennas are listed at 2040 Chem St Bernard, Golfe Juan, 861 Chem des Tuilieres, Quartier de la Ferratone, Residence "le Loup de Mer" and Capitainerie du Port.

Over the past 12 months ANFR recorded 12 new systems here. ANFR has approved 5 new sites that are not live yet, plus additions on 6 existing masts. New: Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at 7 avenue Sole Mio, Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at 261 avenue Henri Pourtalet and Bouygues Telecom (4G and 5G) at 137 avenue des Cactus. 22 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

Systems from 1997 are still on the register. Bouygues Telecom opened 5G here in November 2020; SFR followed in November 2020, Free Mobile followed in December 2020. 2018 was the busiest year, with 53 new systems, most of them 4G.

The tallest structure is a 41 m building at Avenue Jean Moulin. The median height of measured supports is 18 m.

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Bouygues Telecom on 10 of its 12 masts, SFR on 9 of its 11 masts, Free Mobile on all 8 masts and Orange on 8 of its 11 masts.

Nearby, Le Cannet (2.9 km to the west) has 32 masts declared.

Among the 41 Alpes-Maritimes towns with at least five masts, Vallauris ranks 9th by mast count. With 29 masts for 29,259 residents, or 10 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (13).

At 13 km² with 29,259 residents, the commune is dense enough that most antennas sit on rooftops rather than pylons. It is part of the CA de Sophia Antipolis intercommunal grouping.

Figures above cover installations declared to ANFR as in service or technically operational, as of October 2026; approved projects are not counted.
