Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox rail line The Grasse Funicular was a funicular line that previously connected the town of Grasse, France, with its railway station.

The town centre of Grasse is perched on a hillside approximately Шаблон:Cvt above sea level and Шаблон:Cvt above the town's railway station with service from Cannes. The railway station opened in 1871 and a funicular to connect Grasse's town centre and station was completed in 1909. In 1938, the Шаблон:Ill suspended passenger service resulting in the closure of the railway station and the funicular which was subsequently dismantled.[1] In 2005, passenger service resumed to a rebuilt Grasse Railway Station.

Since the reopening of the railway station, there have been discussions on the potential reopening of the Grasse Funicular. A proposal announced in 2010 would have seen a new funicular line constructed by 2013 with 4 stations and a length of Шаблон:Cvt for a total cost of €40 million.[1][2] By 2018, the project had gone back to the planning stage without any construction having occurred after significant community opposition and €16 million spent on feasibility studies.[3]
