Sion
Place du Scex

There are a lot of "Scex" in the Valais and elsewhere, but that's not because Valaisans are horny rabbits. The x is not pronounced and the word means "rock" in Arpitan language (Franco-Provençal). Set against the Valère hill (the "scex" mentioned here), the square covers a large underground car park.
