Feyzin has served as an oil-refining centre in the Rhône valley since 1964. On Lyon’s south-eastern edge, the commune occupies land above the Rhône, where major road and rail corridors follow the river through the metropolitan area. The Feyzin refinery remains a defining element of the local industrial landscape and of the wider region’s energy infrastructure. Feyzin also preserves Fort de Feyzin, a 19th-century defensive work built as part of Lyon’s fortified belt. Its setting reflects the close relationship between the city, the Rhône corridor and the expanding Lyonnais urban area.
