Parco Tzanté de Bouva

Below the walls of the Castle of Fénis, Tzanté de Bouva is a green area with scattered oaks, cherry trees, birches and ashes, tables, a playground, a sports ground and a cycling loop.

Why it matters

The castle gives Fénis its fame, while Tzanté de Bouva is a shaded green space beside the historic site. The regional tourism portal presents it as one of Fénis's visiting points, notable for open woodland rather than formal gardening. The Sarre–Fénis cycling ring is part of the surrounding landscape.

What to notice

The trees are spaced loosely, so light reaches the grass and the picnic area feels open rather than enclosed — the regional description calls it a bosco rado, a sparse wood, of oaks, cherry trees, birches and ashes. The playground and sports area sit close together. The castle's towers and crenellations rise above the park, contrasting with the woodland setting.

Context and history

Tzanté de Bouva forms a green landscape beside the medieval castle. The grounds occupy the land near the castle at Località Chez-Sapin, where the woods climbing towards the Clavalité valley meet the floor of the Dora Baltea valley.
