La Faloise is situated on the D193 road, on the banks of the river Noye, some 15 miles (24 km) south of Amiens.

La Faloise station has rail connections to Amiens and Creil.

La Faloise grew around a 13th-century château, which was ransacked in 1358, and then rebuilt early in the 15th century by the Burgundians.

In the middle of the 15th century, Louis I de Bourbon married Eléonore of Roye and became seigneur of La Faloise.

By the end of the century, the village had experienced much upheaval, being taken by the Ligueurs, Royalist, and then the Spanish.
