Barjols:
Ville de tanneurs, capitale du cuir(1600 à 1970), ses tanneries ont été abandonnées face à la compétitivité du Maroc dans les années 1970.
La plupart des bâtiments des anciennes tanneries ont été réhabilités par des artistes contemporains, (plasticiens, peintres, sculpteurs, galeristes et une maison d'édition), fondant ainsi un des plus importants regroupements d'artistes dans le Var. Ces efforts d'artistes pour réhabiliter les anciennes tanneries de Barjols représentent un cas typique de reconversion de friche industrielle. Un livre documentaire sur la mutation artistique des anciennes tanneries de Barjols a été publié en 2010: Les Entre Peaux.
