Câble C1, formerlyCable A andCable A-Téléval, is acable car inGrand Paris,France, connecting thePointe du Lac station, the terminus ofParis Métro Line 8 inCréteil, to Villa Nova inVilleneuve-Saint-Georges. It is the first cable car line in the Paris region and the seventh urban cable car in France.[2] Operations began on 13 December 2025. At 4.5 kilometers long, it is the longest urban cable car line in Europe.
City planners considered expanding bus service or constructing a new bridge before choosing to develop a cable car system.[3] An extension ofParis Métro Line 8 into Paris' suburbs had failed to gain support due to the density of existing buildings and higher cost of underground tunnels.[4] A cable car system was chosen due to the hilly terrain of the suburbs.[5] Studio Atelier Schall designed the project's architecture.[5] French transport company Île-de-France Mobilités supported the system's design.[5] Construction was led bySpie Batignolles and Egis Rail.[5] FormerLeft Party mayor ofLimeil-Brévannes Joseph Rossignol proposed the project in 2008.[6]
Construction of the system began in March 2022.[6] Stations names were announced in October 2023.[7]
Operations began on 13 December 2025.[8] As of 3 February 2026, the line carried its 500,000th passenger.[1]
The system is 4.5 kilometers long, the longest urban cable car line in Europe at time of opening.[2][4]
The route contains five stations,Pointe du Lac station, the terminus ofParis Métro Line 8 inCréteil,Limeil-Brévannes,Valenton, La Végétale, and Villa Nova inVilleneuve-Saint-Georges.[7]
Pointe du Lac station is connected by footbridge to the nearby mall. Villa Nova station was designed to maintain views of the surrounding agricultural land.[5]
The system runs 105 cars.[2][4] Each car contains 10 seats and is designed to also accommodate bicycles, strollers, and wheelchairs.[2][4]Doppelmayr France produced the cars.[5]
The cable has a similar fare system as theParis bus network. Each station hasturnstiles which accept theNavigo card. ABus-Tram Ticket can be used for a single journey. The ticket does not allow for a free interchange between the Métro network and the cable. Paris Visite, Liberté+, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly passes are also valid for the cable.[2]
