Saint-Félix-d'Otis pairs fjord-side scenery with down-to-earth living, set along Route 170 just east of Saguenay. Weekends often revolve around the water: paddle calm coves on Lac Otis, launch a kayak into the fjord, or follow forested trails to panoramic lookouts. Outdoor lovers have quick access to the Baie-Éternité sector of Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay through the official Sépaq site for the Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay, while families and visitors alike enjoy hands-on discovery at the Musée du Fjord. Everyday essentials and cafés are close by in La Baie, and scenic road trips to artists’ studios and wharves in L’Anse-Saint-Jean are part of the local rhythm.
Schools are overseen by the regional service center, with elementary options in town and secondary programs in nearby La Baie; field trips to the Musée du Fjord and outdoor education around the fjord extend learning beyond the classroom. For higher education and continuing studies, residents look to the Cégep de Chicoutimi. Community events, farmers’ stands, and small-scale producers reflect the heritage of Le Fjord-du-Saguenay, while four-season recreation—from snowshoeing to autumn color drives—keeps calendars full.
Housing here ranges from lakefront retreats and A-frame chalets to practical family homes on quiet roads. If you’re considering a move, or planning to sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local real estate professional to help you navigate the market with confidence.
