Ancien Camp is an ''abri'' or infantry shelter associated with the
Maginot Line's Alpine extension, the
Alpine Line. The position consists of two entry blocks. Neither block was armed. One
machine gun cloche and embrasures for a heavy twin machine gun and a light machine gun were built, but not equipped. The blocks are connected by a single large underground gallery.
