Bargème (in French pronounced as /baʁʒɛm/; Occitan (post 1500);: Bargema) is a commune in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.
In 1949 Evelyn Watts, an English social worker, with a friend set up a home in Bargème for disadvantaged children to recover their strength and confidence in a healthy climate. Her book Castle on a Hill[2] describes the venture.
