description This article tells the story of a request for registration as a 20th century heritage historical monument located in the border area between France and Switzerland. The adopted positions could reflect an enthusiasm for modernity and a consensus for protective processes. But let’s not be mistaken, and historical, geographic, political and cultural considerations must be mobilized to understand the various motivations for this approach. This is surprising in a local context of mistrust towards national and federal policies and authorities, but also with regard to heritage approaches.The renovation of the Salève cable car started in 2016, embodies a feeling of belonging to the same territory on both sides of the border. Its modernity, hidden by successive works, is now fully assumed. The Geneva (Franco-Swiss) governance of the local grouping for cross-border cooperation (GLCT) wants to restore it in all its radicalism. Inaugurated in 1932, the year the free zone was confirmed to the detriment of France, the cable car is thus the expression of a unique History, neither French nor Swiss but from Geneva.
