Computer repair in Vallauris
Between the ceramicists' studios of Vallauris village and the water's edge at Golfe-Juan, I work for private individuals, craftspeople and small shops. Workshop in Cannes, 10 minutes' drive away.
Why a local technician for Vallauris?
Vallauris has a unique identity: a town of art and craft with its ceramicists, a seaside town with Golfe-Juan, a residential town with Super-Vallauris. That diversity is reflected in the computer needs I come across: a ceramicist wanting to back up their catalogue photos, a harbour trader who needs to set up a card terminal, a retiree who simply wants their computer to stop crawling.
My approach stays the same for everyone: plain-English explanations with no jargon, firm quotes, 3-month guarantee. I never charge for a repair that hasn't solved the problem — that's my absolute rule. Not fixed: you only pay for the diagnosis (€50).
For Vallauris craftspeople and traders, the Zen Plan (€99/year) includes priority support and two annual services. It's the assurance of a reliable workstation all year round, with no nasty surprises in the middle of the summer season.

Frequently asked questions — Vallauris clients
Do you come out to Golfe-Juan during the season?expand_more
Yes, even at the height of the summer season. For the harbour shops and holiday lets, I adapt my slots to seasonal constraints (shop opening hours, tenants being present).
Is it possible to back up a ceramic craftsperson's photo catalogue?expand_more
That's actually a case I handle regularly in Vallauris. Setting up an automatic backup to an external drive + cloud, organising files by collection, and a quick training session so the system then runs on its own.
Is the visit to Vallauris charged for?expand_more
Yes, a flat €20 call-out charge is added to the job, whichever town you are in.
Can you set up a card terminal or till for a shop?expand_more
Yes — installation, network setup, configuring the banking connection and training on how to use it. A service appreciated by Golfe-Juan shops.
My computer got damp in Golfe-Juan — can it be repaired?expand_more
It depends on the extent. Diagnosis at the workshop (€50, deducted from the repair if you accept the quote), disassembly and cleaning of the oxidised components. In 60% of cases the machine starts up again, but acting quickly is crucial (within 48 h of the incident).
Vallauris, Golfe-Juan: one call and I'm on my way.
The diagnosis costs €50, deducted from the repair if you accept the quote. If I can't fix it, you only pay for the diagnosis. 3-month guarantee on every job.
