| - L'ouvrage de Sainte-Agnès est une fortification faisant partie de la ligne Maginot, située sur la commune de Sainte-Agnès dans le département des Alpes-Maritimes. Constitué de six blocs perchés sur un sommet au-dessus de Menton, cet ouvrage devait interdire par les feux de son artillerie le passage par le littoral méditerranéen. Pendant les combats de juin 1940 contre l'armée italienne, son équipage effectua des tirs pendant quelques jours. (fr)

- Ouvrage Sainte-Agnès was a work (gros ouvrage) of the Maginot Line's Alpine extension, the Alpine Line, also called the Little Maginot Line. The fortification was built between 1932 and 1938. The site is at the south edge of the hill town of Sainte-Agnès, Alpes-Maritimes at an elevation of 780 metres overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. In the 16th century the House of Savoy built a fortification in Sainte-Agnès, which was a strategic location between the Counts of Provence and Genoa. The fortress saw actions between the French and the Sardinians, becoming a possession of the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardina between 1814 and 1860 before returning to France. The Maginot fortification was planned to defend the Bay of Menton and to prevent attack on the coastal cities from the north. The ouvrage consisted of one entry block, two artillery blocks, two infantry blocks and one observation block facing Italy. There are approximately 2000 square metres of underground space under more than 55 metres of rock cover. (en)
