Ouvrage Saint-Antoine is a work (''gros ouvrage'') of the Maginot Line's Alpine extension, the Alpine Line. The ouvrage consists of one entry block, one infantry block and one artillery block overlooking Modane on the way to the Col du Mont Cenis. Ouvrage Saint-Gobain is just to the north, across the mountain valley. Saint-Antoine overlooks the approaches to the Fréjus Rail Tunnel and was part of an ensemble of forts, including Saint-Gobain, Ouvrage Sapey and Fort du Replaton that guarded the French end of the tunnel and the descent from the Mont Cenis pass. ==Description== *Block 1 (artillery): two machine gun cloches, two 75mm gun embrasures and four 81mm mortar embrasures. *Block 2 (infantry): one observation gun cloche and two heavy twin machine embrasures. *Block 3 (entry): one machine gun embrasure and one heavy twin machine gun/47mm anti-tank gun embrasure. A casemate is located nearby, but not connected to the underground gallery network. It is the only CORF-design casemate in the southeastern fortifications. It is equipped with one machine gun cloche, two machine gun embrasures and two heavy twin machine gun embrasures. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ouvrage Saint-Antoine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
