One of the drawbacks of Le Treport is that the coastal strip, which is attractive to tourists, is narrow. The rest of the place is more than 100 meters higher on the chalk cliffs. In 1880 the first proposal was made to build a funicular, which would connect the lower town with the higher parts. This met a lot of resistance. It was not until 1907 that the construction of the funicular began, which opened on July 1, 1908. The architectural style of the upper station in steel and brick was reminiscent of the stations Javel and Grenelle[2] in Paris. Wooden wagons moved up and down with the help of cables.
The project was a success in the first years, but as a result of the First World War and the subsequent stock market crash of 1929, the operation became less and less profitable. In 1941, a long-range gun was installed on the upper station by the German occupier, and that marked the end of the operation.
Between 1958 and 1982, the connection was carried out by a cable car with gondolas. This was a failure both technically and financially.
In the period 2005-2006 the project was completely renovated. The newly built lower and upper stations are now connected by an automatic operating system, with four cabins moving along the inclined track. The use is free .
