Felix of Nantes was a 6th-century prelate who served as the Bishop of Nantes for thirty-three years. Born in Bourges, he entered the episcopacy in 551 after his wife transitioned to life as a nun. During his tenure, he focused on urban development and social welfare, notably selling his own property to assist the impoverished. His efforts to improve the city were documented in contemporary poetry, and he acted as a significant diplomat between Frankish monarchs and the people of Brittany.
