Fayence

Fayence (French pronunciation: [fajɑ̃s]; Occitan: Faiença) 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.

[3] The Aérodrome de Fayence-Tourettes is one of the most active in Europe for gliding;[citation needed] it hosts the Provence Côte d'Azur Aeronautical Association.

On 13 June 1940, 12 Italian Fiat CR.42 Falcos from 151° Gruppo of 53° Stormo attacked the airfield, destroying several aircraft on the ground.
