Saint-Félix: Nature and Village Life

Saint-Félix brings together nature, a regular market day and cultural events. This lets you consider your travel dates alongside the activities you’re interested in, rather than planning everything around the same schedule.

Hiking and the Natural Area

The Étangs de Crosagny hiking route starts in Saint-Félix, is 6.1 kilometres long and has an elevation gain of 30 metres. Distance and elevation gain are two different factors to consider when planning your day; you can take both into account when fitting a hike into your stay. Check the latest route details before setting out.

The Crosagny-Beaumont-Braille natural area extends across Albens, Bloye and Saint-Félix and is part of the Natura 2000 network of wetlands in the Albanais. Events and environmental awareness initiatives are aimed at the public and help promote the area. The route is a specific hiking option with stated distance and elevation figures; the natural area spans several municipalities and also includes public environmental initiatives.

Weekly Market at Place de l’Église

The Saint-Félix market takes place on Fridays from 4 to 7 p.m. at Place de l’Église. Around ten producers and vendors offer fruit and vegetables, charcuterie, cheese, fish, prepared food, saffron products, Italian dishes and honey. Friday afternoon is therefore a specific point of reference when choosing your dates: staying around that day lets you combine your trip with a visit to the market.

Cultural Events in the Village

The Maison forte de la Sauffaz is partially listed as a historic monument. The protected area is the room on the first floor with its wall paintings. These paintings provide a specific cultural point of interest in the historic building if you’re interested in local history.

Once a month, Cinébus screens films in Saint-Félix for young audiences at 5 p.m. and adults at 8:30 p.m. The venue is the community hall at 70 Place de l’Église. Check the current programme before your trip so you can plan around a specific screening. The monthly cinema event takes place at a different time from the Friday market and can help you choose when to visit.

On Saturday, 20 June 2026, Saint-Félix hosted the 12th Fête de la musique. Several different music groups performed, and children were also catered for. This past edition complements the monthly film screenings with an example of a recurring music event in the village.

Getting There by Bus

Saint-Félix is regularly served by bus line 40 between Entrelacs, Albens railway station and the Annecy bus station. Check the current timetable before travelling if you plan to use the service for your arrival or departure. The bus connection is relevant to getting there; you can use the market, cinema and hiking route to plan your time in the village.
