Fort de Feyzin, Military fort in Feyzin, France

Fort de Feyzin is a Séré de Rivières fort built between 1875 and 1877, standing 230 metres above sea level on 26 wooded hectares near the centre of Feyzin-le-haut. Its entrance building, restored with patronage from the Total foundation, presents a light grey stone facade with rounded crenellations, a round-arched brick-lined tunnel and the engraved inscription "FORT DE FEYZIN" above the arch. The site covers 22,000 square metres of built area and now holds an equestrian centre run by the UCPA.

The fort was built in the 1870s as part of a defensive ring around Lyon. It was designed as one of several fortifications that formed a protective system for the city.

The fort hosts the one-day Fort en Bal(l)ade event each early summer since 2006, plus European Heritage Days. Since 2025 the mini-farm "Au pré de Justin" has occupied the site, and "Le Glacis" heritage centre, free to enter, presents the history of Feyzin and the fort on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 2pm to 5pm.

The site sits at a higher elevation and can be visited on foot or by riding through the wooded terrain. Access is possible, but visitors should be prepared for natural paths and varying ground conditions.

The fort's entrance building was restored with patronage from the Total foundation, and the entrance pavilion was rehabilitated in 2008. The old army stables now house 20 to 30 ponies, with a covered riding hall and an open-air arena. The Bioforce Institute also uses the fort for its training.
