Château du Reclos stands in Bargemon (Var), in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

The château du Reclos stands in Bargemon, in the Var department, at the centre of an estate shaped over several centuries by the Villeneuve family. The main pavilion, built at the end of the 17th century in the style of the pavilions at Marly favoured by Louis XIV, later gained two wings and turrets during the Second Empire period. The grounds still hold an old enclosing wall, a watchtower and a series of irrigation basins fed by a local spring. Once a family residence and later a children's home, the estate now welcomes groups for cultural or sporting activities.
