Fayence is a commune in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.
Fayence is one of a series of "perched villages" overlooking the plain between the southern Alps and the Esterel massif, which borders the sea between Cannes and Saint-Raphaël. The village is located on the road to Mons, which later on joins the Route Napoléon (linking Nice to Grenoble through the Alps).
Some high-standing resorts have settled nearby the village in the recent years: the Domaine de Terre Blanche at Tourrettes, Var and Domaine de Fayence attracting a foreign clientele. The aerodrome of Fayence-Tourettes is one of the most active in Europe for Gliding.
The village contains a primary school (Ecole la Ferrage) and a highschool (Marie Mauron).
Fayence-Tourettes Airport is the biggest glider planes center in Europe, and hosts the Provence Côte d'Azur Aeronautical Association.
