For the tin-glazed earthenware, see faience.

Fayence is a commune of the Var département, 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. Fayence is a charming old Provençal village popular with tourists. 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 and Domaine de Fayence attracting a foreign clientele. The aerodrome of Fayence-Tourettes is one of the most active in Europe.
