| Fountain of the Lion | |  |
| Standing in the middle of Rue du Grand-Pont, the Lion Fountain was built in 1610 near the northern corner of Rue des Châteaux, then moved to the middle of the Grand-Pont, next to the Grenette, before moving to its current location in 1984, to free up the axis of the street. Listed in the canton's inventory of historic monuments, it was essential for watering cattle and ensuring the smooth running of the market, which was already held on this street at the time. |
| Majorie Esplanade | | |
| Here we are at the intersection of Rue des Châteaux and Rue du Tunnel. On our left is the Nature Museum, a reference institution for the natural heritage of the Valais, whose collections bear witness to the richness and variety of the region's fauna, flora and geology. On our right, the Castle of Majorie rises above the esplanade. Comprising two main buildings, the Majorie and the Vidomnat, it houses the Museum of Art, which offers a tour focusing on the landscape, the imaginary world of the mountains and the leading artists of its collections. |
| Rue du Grand-Pont | | |
| Lined with shops and restaurants, this street in the heart of the old town is a must for locals and tourists alike. Despite its name ("Big Bridge Street"), you won't see there any bridge. Actually, a river (the Sionne) runs through the town and, following major flooding, it was covered over for some 400m between the 17th and 18th centuries, giving rise to Rue du Grand-Pont. |
