Chevenez is a charming village located in the beautiful country of Switzerland. It is found in the Jura canton, which is like a state or region in Switzerland. Specifically, Chevenez is part of the Porrentruy district.
For many years, Chevenez was its own independent municipality. A municipality is a local area with its own government. However, on January 1, 2009, Chevenez joined with other nearby villages to form a larger municipality called Haute-Ajoie. This means it is now part of a bigger community.
Location and History
Chevenez is nestled in the northwestern part of Switzerland. It's known for its peaceful countryside and traditional Swiss feel. The village has a long history, like many places in this region.
Joining Haute-Ajoie
The change in 2009 was a big step for Chevenez. By joining Haute-Ajoie, the villages work together more closely. This can help with things like public services and local development. It's a common way for smaller communities to manage resources better.
