in wonderfully with the olive trees that surround the town.

Do the people of Fayence wear watches?
Fayence is a maze of steep and narrow lanes and the town has preserved its medieval atmosphere. If you follow the hill to the top then you’ll find the remains of a castle that once stood here defending this fortified town. You’ll also find the clock towering over the rest of the town here - there is never any excuse to be late in Fayence! There are two churches. The Church of St-Jean Baptiste was built in the 16th Century while the Parish Church was built in the 18th Century.

How do I get there?
Flying there is easy as there are regular flights into both Nice and Toulon from the UK. If you’re travelling by car then you should turn off on the D562 between Draguignan and Grasse. You’ll be able to see the town on the hilltop above you. Alternatively the TGV train service arrives in Marseille from Paris.
