Ouvrage Mont Agel is a work (gros ouvrage) of the Maginot Line’s Alpine extension the Alpine Line also called the Little Maginot Line. The 1930s ouvrage was built in and around the earlier mountaintop Fortress of Mont Agel. The ouvrage forms a backup to the main curtain of Alpine Line forts and was not initially planned as part of the Alpine Line proper. Its intended function was primarily to provide heavy long-range artillery support from a location well to the rear of the line.
