Pays de Fayence occupies the east of the Var, close to the Alpes-Maritimes. It forms a threshold between the French Riviera, the first Prealpine heights and inland routes. Lake Saint-Cassien, hilltop villages and the Tanneron hills provide its main reference points.
Fayence gives its name to a group of villages including Callian, Mons, Tourrettes, Seillans, Montauroux, Saint-Paul-en-Forêt, Tanneron and Bagnols-en-Forêt. Their positions respond to the land: watching routes, catching air, staying near cultivated ground and controlling water. Seillans has an old centre listed among the Plus Beaux Villages de France.
In Fayence, stone lanes, terraces and small squares set the pace of a visit on foot. Markets recall a hillside economy: olives, honey, wine, aromatic plants, wood and mimosa around Tanneron. The area is not only scenery; its agricultural and forest reading remains visible.
Lake Saint-Cassien covers about 420 hectares. Its shores alternate managed beaches, wooded areas and quieter access points. People come for swimming, walks, fishing and low-impact water activities, depending on open sectors and the season.
From Fayence, roads lead to the Estérel Massif, Grasse, Draguignan and the Verdon. This position suits stays looking for a transitional Provence: close to the coast, yet already turned towards plateaus, forests and hilltop villages.
Spring and autumn suit village visits and walks. Summer works well for Lake Saint-Cassien and markets, with more visitors. Winter is the mimosa season around Tanneron.
You can stay in Fayence, Seillans, Tourrettes, Callian, Montauroux, near Lake Saint-Cassien or on routes towards the Estérel and Grasse.
Without a car, travelling between villages and walking routes can be difficult. Choose accommodation near the places you want to visit and check bus connections. Cycling suits riders used to the distances and terrain, allowing for summer heat.
