Built between 1874 and 1878, Fort de Vancia is part of the second defensive belt of the city of Lyon. Designed by General Séré de Rivières, the 14 forts, including that of Vancia, served to protect the city from Prussian and Italian invasions. The secondary objective was to control the Lyon insurrections such as the revolt of the Canuts.
