Did you know that the cable car of the city of Grenoble, built in 1934, is one of the first cable cars located in an urban environment in the world? A true engineering marvel, initiated by Paul Michoud, a renowned engineer, and Paul Mistral, former Mayor.

Overlooking a difference in altitude of 266 meters, it connects the city to the Bastille, a military fort built in the nineteenth century on a hill.

From up there, its "bubble" shaped cabins offer you a view of Mont-Blanc, the cliffs of the Vercors or the Belledonne massif: a must-see tourist site!

Just like the C1 cable; the Grenoble cable car advocates for a new carbon-free and sustainable mode of transport!

And you, would you be willing to borrow it?
