First Cable Car for Paris: Câble C1 Set to Launch
The Île-de-France Region Gets Its First Urban Cable Car. According to Sortir à Paris, the Câble C1 project is expected to begin operations in 2025. This innovative cable car connection will efficiently link the municipalities of Créteil, Limeil-Brévannes, Valenton, and Villeneuve-Saint-Georges in the southern part of Paris.
A New Era for Public Transport
The new cable car line, spanning 4.5 kilometers and featuring five stations, is part of a comprehensive plan to enhance public transport in the region.
The goal is to improve mobility in densely populated urban areas, reduce road traffic, and provide an environmentally friendly alternative.
With an estimated capacity of up to 1,600 passengers per hour in each direction, Câble C1 promises to be a fast and reliable solution for commuters and residents alike.

Sustainability at the Core
In addition to its high capacity and efficiency, the project stands out for its environmental friendliness: the cable car will be fully electric and significantly more energy-efficient than traditional modes of transportation.
Construction is already underway, with the Île-de-France region heavily investing to ensure the project stays on track for completion in 2025.
A Model for Urban Mobility
Sortir à Paris highlights that urban cable cars are becoming increasingly popular worldwide, particularly in major cities facing topographical challenges or heavy traffic congestion. Câble C1 could serve as a model for similar projects in France and across Europe.
With this cable car project, Île-de-France is embracing innovation and sustainability, demonstrating how modern public transport can help address the challenges of urban mobility.
