The Marseille tramway (French: Tramway de Marseille; Occitan: Tramway de Marselha) is a tramway system in Marseille, France. The city's modern tram network now consists of three lines, serving 32 stations and operating over 19.2 kilometres (11.9 mi) of route. The current, modern Marseille tram network opened on 7 July 2007. The first horse tramway opened in Marseille on 21 January 1876; electric trams came to Marseille in 1899. Unlike most other French cities, trams continued to operate in Marseille, even as through the 1950s and beyond trams disappeared from most cities around the world. The original tram system continued to operate until 2004, when the last line, Line 68, was closed. Trams remained out of operation for three years between 2004 and 2007, in advance of the effort to renovate the tram network to modern standards.
