The land of Fayence

The perched villages in the land of Fayence

Men have occupied these lands for several millennia. They built villages on the top of hills to protect themselves from invasions. You will find houses with golden facades and tiled roofs, narrow streets, shady squares, stores, cafes and restaurants.

Seillans, classified as the most beautiful village in France, has many fountains. This medieval village is also famous for its vaulted passages and its paved streets.

Fayence embodies the Provençal way of life. The EcoMusée du Pays de Fayence, located at the entrance of the village, plunges you into the daily life of the farmers who made these lands prosper in the last centuries.

Montauroux also has many fountains. Heritage lovers will be able to admire the St Barthélémy chapel, built in the 17th century, whose barrel vault has been entirely covered with painted wooden panels.

All the villages of the Pays de Fayence have their own identity and tourist attractions.
