About this audio guide
This guide to the Vue Super-Cannes viewpoint above Cannes starts in the nineteen twenties, with a Paris property company trying to sell a hilltop that almost nobody could reach. It follows the engineers they brought in, the Italian machinery behind their cable railway, and the simple principle of balance that made it climb. Stand facing the bay, with the Esterel hills on your right.
