Paris-did it have a trolley in '40
Did Paris have a trolley/tram system in place when Germany went in in 1940- IF so what would have been the spacing of the tracks? Thanks

Re: Paris-did it have a trolley in '40
I was doing some research on the capture of Notre Dame in Marseilles, and I don't know about Paris, but there was supposedly one that ran underground and was specifically set up to get people to Notre Dame so they could avoid the walk. They would exit at the base of Notre Dame.
Paris? I don't know but thought this might at least let you know there were trollys.

Hello James,
The last tramway line of Paris (intra muros) dated from 1937.
The tramways were replaced by bus lines and there was also the underground or “Métropolitain” (Métro) The space between the tracks was 1 meter and 44 centimeters.
