In operation since 1942, the system is one of only three operating trolleybus systems in France; the others are the Limoges system and the Lyon system. Today, the city is taking major steps to develop trolleybus transport. New battery trolleybuses Solaris T12 with ŠKODA electric equipment were purchased. In addition, the number of vehicles was increased compared to the original fleet so that electric traffic could be resumed on the M7 Michon - city center - Bellevue line. In the near future, trolleybuses will also return to the M6 line serving the Metare housing estate, where a trolley line is now being built again. In addition, the line will use the planned BRT corridor and the carrier will purchase articulated trolleybuses for it. These should also appear on the M4 line.
