Flayosc (French pronunciation: [flajɔsk]; Provençal Occitan: Flaiòsc) is a commune in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in Southeastern France.

Flayosc is 7 km (4.3 mi) west of Draguignan, about 35 km (22 mi) from the Mediterranean Sea (to the southeast).

The town is located on a rocky hill, near the church. Three small rivers crosses the village : the Pontchalade, the Florieyes and the Rimalte.

The place allowed local residents to watch over the valley and to protect villages in the neighbourhood, for example Saint-Lambert (far from 5 km).

After the destruction of Antea, a village in the neighbourhood, by the Roman Empire, people decided to live in this place.

The lord of Flayosc lost his powers and his castle during the French Revolution.

In the 19th century, the village became a place where shoes were made : many factories were created. The village had, thanks to this activity, a long prosperous period. About 3,000 people lived in Flayosc in 1914.
