Django is a "web framework", for creating web sites. Falcon is a "REST API" framework, for creating APIs following the REST pattern. Flask is less clear (or "opinionated") as to what it should be used for, and would probably fall somewhere in between the other two.

If you are at any point returning HTML from your Falcon project or thinking of serving static content, you should probably not be using Falcon at all. :)
