The Provençal market of Fayence is located in the heart of the village, on the church square. This market is the reflect of Provence with colors, perfumes and local flavours.

Discover The Perched Villages

They were all founded in the Middle Age between the 5th and 15th Century. They reflect the value of this medieval and Provençal heritage, with churches, chapels, ruins and water fountains...
Fayence and Seillans are the most lively villages and should not be missed Callian, Montauroux and Tourrettes have got a more
quiet atmosphere, but with a unique architecture Mons is maybe one of the smallest and highest villages:
its landscape on the «Pays de Fayence» is unforgettable !

We recommend to visit Fayence during market- day hours:
on tuesdays, thursdays and saturdays morning.
