Montmartre Funicular, Paris

-

OK, so it’s not really a funicular as the trains are not counterbal­anced and can operate independen­tly, plus it only rises 118ft on a 354ft track up to the wonderful Sacré-Coeur Basilica, but we like it.

The original system was water-driven and opened in 1900, so it took passengers from l’eau to high!
