History
One line has been built following approval by elected officials in 2004. Work began 6 July 2009, and the line was inaugurated on 23 June 2012. Construction costs were 383 million euros. The construction phase of the platform began in March 2010. The network has the distinction of being trilingual (French, English and Breton).
Rolling stock
The line is operated with 20 Alstom Citadis trams, which were jointly purchased with the Dijon tramway to reduce cost.
