Template:Infobox Lyon Network The Croix-Rousse-Croix-Paquet rack railway, which was refurbished in 1974, was integrated into the Lyon Metro in 1978 as line C, running from Hôtel-de-Ville to Croix-Rousse. It was extended to Cuire on December 8, 1984.

The line was constructed using various methods; the incline rising through a deep tunnel, the portion on the flat at Croix-Rousse using cut-and-cover, while the section beyond Hénon runs on the surface. The Croix Paquet station claims to be the steepest metro station in Europe, with an incline of 17%.
