The hamlet of Schafis (French: Chavannes ) is politically a district of the Swiss district town of La Neuveville in the canton of Bern , but geographically it is close to the municipality of Ligerz to the east . Since the middle of the 20th century, the German language has prevailed in the otherwise French-speaking region of the town. That is why Schafis has close ties to its German-speaking neighbors Ligerz and Twann , both in church and school terms . The vineyard museum “Hof” is located on its territory, right on the border with Ligerz, and depicts the wine-growing tradition of the entire Lake Biel region.
