This Monday, she hit the traction cables of the cable car of the Pic du Midi de Bigorre in the Hautes-Pyrenees. Fortunately, it was stopped due to the closure of the site following the bad weather which has affected the region for a few days, according to France Blue.
According to the Pic du Midi website, more fear than harm, therefore, since revisions are in progress to ensure that lightning has not weakened the cable car.
If it has been stopped all day, it should resume service this night for tourists who have come to enjoy the unique observatory at nearly 2,900 meters above sea level.
