Fayence
This hilltop village in the Var department of Provence, Fayence sits above the plain between the southern Alps and the Esterel massif, with cafés and restaurants in its old centre and vineyards in the surrounding countryside. Its 12th-century castle and strong visual profile make it a draw for photography. The Aérodrome de Fayence-Tourrettes is among the most active gliding centres in Europe, giving the town an identity beyond its Provençal setting.
