Ouvrage Saint Gobain was a work ("gros ouvrage") of the Maginot Line's Alpine extension, the Alpine Line. The ouvrage consisted of one entry block, one infantry block, one artillery block, one observation block and one combination block. Located near Modane, it was just uphill from Ouvrage Saint Antoine on the way to the Col du Mont Cenis and Italy.
