15 june 2009 - Marcq-en-Barœul (FR) – Brossolette. The metre-gauge Lille tramway (universally known as “Le Mongy” after the original engineer) was opened in 1909 along a new road, the Grand Boulevard, stretching from central Lille to the nearby towns of Roubaix and Tourcoing. Although a short branch line from near this point closed down in 1972, the system has survived for 100 years, now with an underground section beneath the city centre. This is the only ‘original’ French tramway to survive.

Hardly anything left of the originals - really, these are new tramways, not just re-equipped.
But the St. Etienne tramway still runs on the original route, whereas one of the Marseilles tram lines is also a remnant of the former Route 68, including the underground section...
