    Historically this fort covered the communes of Chaponost and Brignais. Today it is a place of remembrance for the 120 people killed on the spot by the Germans before evacuating Lyon. The tour of the Fort is pleasant and offers on its southern slope a great view of Saint-Genis-Laval below.

    Part of the forts surrounding Lyon, built after the war of 1870.
    On August 20, 1944, the Germans shot 120 hostages and resistance fighters (inmates of Montluc prison) in the keeper's house, then set the building on fire. Memorial near the fort.
    Panorama on Lyon: we can see the pencil and the Oxygene tower.
