About Fenis
Fénis is a comune of around 1,800 people at about 540 metres in the Aosta Valley, made up of some twenty hamlets such as Misérègne, Chez-Croiset and Les Crêtes. Its castle stands on a small knoll about 13 km from Aosta. The Challant family enlarged it between 1320 and 1420, with a double ring of battlemented walls, a courtyard with a semicircular stone staircase and wooden balconies, and a 15th-century fresco of Saint George. Restoration campaigns from 1895 and in 1935, in a neo-medieval spirit, shaped the outline you see from the motorway. Since 2009 the village has also been home to the MAV museum of traditional Valdostan craftsmanship. The homes are grouped together in one part of the village.
