Sion
Bridge over Sionne (1)

This is where the Sionne river emerges into the open air after flowing under Rue du Grand-Pont for almost 400m. This underground canal was built in several phases between 1657 and 1740 following major floods, and even today the town of Sion has mobile dykes to guard against any eventuality.
