Dear Sirs,
I would like to know what is happening with the fantastic Funniculaire in Cannes?
I have many photogrpahs which I took during 2006 and I believe this monument o engineering should be re-opened.
Does the Arab Sheikh still own the Observatoire land at the top of the hill?
Where can I get more information from?
Best regards
Richard Storey
Hello Richard,
I am sorry but there is no good news from the Cannes old funicular !
The funicular is still at the same status!
Yes, the funicular, observatory, hotel and two other villas still belong to the Prince. He tried to obtain planning permission a few years back, but was refused.
Please, when visiting bear in mind it is private and in it’s current state, a danger to wander about
Hi,
The property is dangerous, it’s a pitty the mindless vandals didn’t stay out of the way too!
The photographs I took were with permission of workmen who were renovating and re-sealing the old entrance at the foot of the rail line.
Does anyone know how to contact the owners?
Thanks
Richard Storey
