Fort de Vaise, Military fort in 9th arrondissement of Lyon, France.
Fort de Vaise stands on a rocky promontory in Loyasse, controlling the northern entrance to Lyon with views over the Saône River and surrounding plains.
The fort was constructed between 1830 and 1834 as part of the first defensive belt of Lyon, under the direction of Marshal Hubert Rohault de Fleury.
The Renaud Foundation, established in 1994, maintains a collection of 8,000 artworks and objects, including pieces from 19th and 20th-century Lyon artists.
The venue includes multiple event spaces, with the Tony Garnier room accommodating 300 guests and the panoramic terrace spanning 400 square meters.
Underground tunnels connected Fort de Vaise to Fort Saint-Jean and Fort de Loyasse in 1834, forming an interconnected defense network for the city.
