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 Mediterranean 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.
