Culture
The Musée-Galerie Honoré Camos is located in the former Chapelle Saint-Etienne, dating from the 11th century. It presents the history of Bargemon through its religious heritage, economic activities, local personalities and the painter Honoré Camos. Construction of the parish church of Saint-Etienne began in 1400 and ended in 1427, the year it was consecrated.
The typewriter section at the Musée de la Mécanographie comprises around 100 items and spans more than a century. The Chapelle Notre-Dame de Montaigu also brings together several historical layers: it was originally built as a chapel for the White Penitents at the beginning of the 17th century and was given its name in 1635 following the recognition of a miracle. Historically, it was integrated into Bargemon's defence system and built onto a former town gate. Today, the chapel houses changing exhibitions by contemporary artists or thematic exhibitions throughout the year.
