Fayence – Var, Pays de Fayence
Terraces with a view, art, and sophisticated village life
Discover Fayence, a lively and elegant hilltop village overlooking the Esterel Mountains. With its charming streets, art galleries, and cozy outdoor cafes, this village is a must-visit for foodies, art lovers, and those who enjoy the finer things in life.
We love coming here—strolling up and down the narrow streets, browsing in little shops, and stopping along the way at a sidewalk café for a delicious lunch or a glass of rosé. What makes this village extra special is the breathtaking view you’re treated to from so many spots. Fayence exudes a relaxed, Provençal atmosphere with just that touch of flair.
