Ancien funiculaire de Super-Cannes
Ancien funiculaire de Super-Cannes, Historic funicular track in California district, Cannes, France.
The funicular system stretched over 850 meters, connecting downtown Cannes to the Super-Cannes Observatory at an elevation of 233 meters above sea level.
Constructed between 1925 and 1928 by Dyle and Bacalan workshops following Italian company Ceretti and Tanfani's designs, this transportation system operated until 1966.
The lower station building features neo-Provençal architecture resembling a rural chapel, with interior decorations by painter Louis Pastour reflecting regional artistic elements.
A hiking trail now follows the former rail line, offering a 5.28-kilometer path with a 198-meter elevation gain, starting from Parking Parc Montfeury.
The site includes remains of railway tracks and traction cables from the 1920s, now surrounded by vegetation along the California hillside of Cannes.
