Explore Félines through a range of interests: hiking trails, the Église Saint-Georges and local produce. When looking for a hotel, it helps to first decide what you want to focus on during your stay—hiking, culture or regional products, for example. The starting points and timing information make these options more specific.
Hiking trails and starting points
The “La montagne Sainte Blandine” hike starts at Place de l'église in 07340 Félines. The “Félines” circular hiking route also starts in 07340 Félines. The first trail specifies a particular square by the church, while the second names the commune as its starting point. This difference can make planning easier if you want to choose a starting point before your hike: the first route gives a more precise location, while the second identifies the starting point only at the town level. You can compare the two hiking options using the starting points given for each.
The mountain biking loop via Prost and Limony
The mountain biking loop “Félines - Prost - Limony - Pont de la Pierre - Peyssonneau - Croix de la garde - Eperdussin - Gourgoulin” offers a different perspective. The route descends via Prost towards the Rhône, follows the river to Limony and then climbs again towards Pont de la Pierre. The route described therefore runs from the descent to the river, along a stretch of the Rhône, and then back uphill. Trail conditions can change; check them before setting out.
Church, culture and event dates
The Église Saint-Georges was built in the 19th century and houses a listed Black Madonna. The construction date and the Madonna are two specific points of cultural and historical interest within the same church. If you are considering Félines for its cultural attractions, this is a clearly identified place to visit alongside the trails.
The “tir à la seille” is part of the “Vogue de la Saint-Georges”. “Pic-Nic et Chansons” is also linked to a particular time of year: the festival is associated with the month of July. Check the date for the relevant year when planning a specific stay. The programme also includes a concert by ARCANSON at the Entre 2 and a “Spectacle CABARET” organised by the Comité des Fêtes. Check the dates and access information before travelling.
Market and farm shop
The “Marché de producteurs locaux” takes place on Wednesday mornings at Place Jean Serve. La Ferme de Combalat sells fresh organic fruit and vegetables directly at the farm; the products available vary by season. These offer different pointers for planning meals: for the market, the day of the week matters; for the farm shop, it is the season. Check the market day and product availability before your trip if you want to plan around either option.
