Ouvrage La Ferté, also known as Ouvrage Villy-La Ferté, is a petit ouvrage of the Maginot Line, located in the Fortified Sector of Montmédy, facing Belgium. The ouvrage lies between the towns of Villy and La Ferté-sur-Chiers. It possesses two combat blocks linked by an underground gallery. The westernmost position in its sector, it was a comparatively weakly armed fortification in an exposed position that left it vulnerable to isolation and attack. After a sustained attack during the Battle of France, the position was overwhelmed by German forces and was destroyed with its entire garrison killed. The fighting at La Ferté was the heaviest of any position in the Maginot Line. It is preserved as a war memorial.

  • De ouvrage de La Ferté of Villy-La Ferté was het enige grotere vestingwerk van de Maginotlinie dat tijdens de Slag om Frankrijk direct werd aangevallen door Duitse troepen. Het fort was onderdeel van de . Het bevindt zich op het grondgebied van de gemeenten La Ferté-sur-Chiers en Villy, vlak bij de Belgische grens, aan het einde van het hoofddeel van de linie, dat de grens met Duitsland moest verdedigen. Verder naar het westen liggen de Ardennen, die door het Franse leger als ondoordringbaar voor grote hoeveelheden troepen, met name tanks, beschouwd werden. Het grootste deel van het Duitse leger brak echter toch door in dit gebied en hierbij kwam de ouvrage de La Ferté op de oostelijke flank te liggen, waarna werd besloten dat het neutraliseren van het fort noodzakelijk was.
