Bargème, Medieval commune in Var, France
Bargème extends across 127 square kilometers of terrain in southeastern France, reaching elevations between 824 and 1,589 meters above sea level.
The medieval settlement contains numerous preserved stone buildings and defensive structures that reflect its strategic position in the Var department during past centuries.
The designation as one of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France recognizes the exceptional preservation of local architecture and traditional Provençal character.
Visitors need personal transportation to reach this remote location, as public transit services do not extend to the higher elevation areas of Var.
In 1949, English social worker Evelyn Watts established a children's recovery home in Bargème, later documenting this experience in her book Castle on a Hill.
