On a three-hectare site overlooking the old town, acquired by the Hugues Senior Company in 1875, together comprising a perfume factory, a large villa and a garden ensuring the link between the two. The thirteen industrial buildings were built in the first quarter of the twentieth century, in two campaigns, first between 1900 and 1914 for the house Hugues, then after the First World War by the architect Léon Le Bel for Eugène Charabot, The new boss, a scientist, industrialist and politician. The villa and garden were created between 1919 and 1925 for Charabot by the same Le Bel, from a more modest house built by Pierre Riccord, the previous owner. Large red house with two bodies, extended by galleries in return and dominated by a tower-belvedere, the villa like the terraced garden planted with olive trees and cypresses strike by the Italian references from which they feed. Both are also the pretext for the staging of many works of art, especially sculptures.
