Favières (pronounced as /fr/) is a commune in the Somme department in Hauts-de-France in northern France.
The commune is situated on the D140 road, 2miles from the estuary of the river Somme, some 12miles northwest of Abbeville.
Favières is served by a halt on the metre gauge railway from Noyelles-sur-Mer to Le Crotoy. The railway is now a heritage railway, the Chemin de Fer de la Baie de Somme, which formerly formed part of the Réseau des Bains de Mer.
