Saint-Félix, Nantes, Gothic Revival church in Hauts-Pavés district, Nantes, France

Construction of the church began in August 1843 on land near the château de la Haute-Forêt, following plans by architect Charles Raymond.

The church bears the name of Felix of Nantes, a fifth-century French bishop who served as a religious leader in the region.

The church contains a grand organ from 1954, inaugurated by Maurice Duruflé and restored by organ-builder Denis Lacorre in 2008.

All stained glass windows in the church were created by Gabriel Loire, adding artistic value to the religious structure.
