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 the world, with an incline of 17%.
