The religious heritage of Ance Féas does not lack charm, starting with the Saint-Étienne d'Ance church, listed in the General Inventory of Cultural Heritage. Built between the 17th and 18th centuries, it notably reveals a high altar and a tabernacle classified as a Historic Monument.
Don't forget to go to the 17th century Saint-Barthélémy church. It is particularly renowned for its statue of the Virgin with a carved and gilded wooden lectern from the 17th century.
To admire the surrounding landscapes, head to the Listre chasm, the Soum de Cassiet and its Gallo-Roman camp, the Soum d'Aulis or even the Mer de Her. Several marked hiking trails allow you to discover the natural charm of Ance Féas and its surroundings.
Passing visitors will also be seduced by the Fairy Garden and its monoliths dating from the protohistoric era, a circular camp coded with a rampart and blocks of stone.
The weekly market is held every Monday at the end of the afternoon on the town hall square in Féas.
