Epic 1992 Otis mid-rise elevators @Lyon, France

This is one of the biggest strokes of luck I've ever had in my life. It's been several years now since I spotted this large building from the 90s but I had never managed to get inside because it's unfortunately very difficult. I finally succeeded on September 5, 2025 and I discovered by surprise these 2 masterpiece Otis Europa 2000 elevators. Unfortunately these elevators will be modernized from September 8, only 3 days after my video when I had absolutely no idea about the elevators in this building, nor that they were going to be modernized very soon, I was extremely lucky. There are a total of 6 Otis Europa 2000 elevators in this housing complex (2 duplex elevators and 2 single elevators). I only had access to 3 elevators in the building, the third had just been modernized by Sodimas... yuck! I don't know if the other 3 elevators that I couldn't see have already been modernized but I think that's unfortunately the case and that the 2 that I filmed are the last on the list... really a shame. ======= Technical information ======= *Manufacturer: Otis *Model: Europa *Fixtures: SERIES 1 (NAO) *Type: Top-drived traction / 2 speeds *Capacity: 630 kg / 8 persons & 1000 kg / 13 persons *Installed in 1992 *Floors served: -2 ; -1 ; 0 ; 1 ; 2 ; 3 ; 4 ; 5 ; 6 ; 7 ; 8 ; 9 ; 10 ; 11
