	Sion Switzerland
		he 2,000-year-old town of Sion is the capital of Valais, or Wallis, a canton that is roughly 3/4 French-speaking and lies along the Rhône River between Lake Geneva and the Furka Pass.
		Today, Sion is more of an administrative and market center than a tourist magnet--a role that makes it all the more appealing to visitors who want to sample the "real Switzerland." Yet it does have its share of tourist attractions, most notably the fortress of Château de Tourbillon and an 11th-Century church, Notre-Dame-de-Valère (see photo).
		The château and church are built on a pair of steep hills that rise dramatically from the plain along the river Rhône.
