Paris is a huge city and this line would absolutely see use. And if it can work as a mode of transport, I'm all for it.
Just for clarification: the cable car won't fly above Paris (which isn't that huge, it's more dense than huge; and we suffocate in it, that's great they didn't add buses), it will just allow people to go from one distant suburb city to another suburb city which is a hub to depart from, in order to then reach the noisy city of lights.
The idea of cable cars is pretty and somewhat solarpunkish, I admit it, and the idea of people taking them looks marvelous when daydreaming on concept pictures... but the distance and the gain of time is not worth it from where I stand (42 years I live around, and nearly 10 within Paris). Some residents may want to see their taxes used in a better way.
Furthermore, I haven't travelled the world, but the transports system isn't quite satisfying from the inside, technically speaking. More active residents would say there's "not one day without issues". Personally, I'd rather see less motorways to be able to build tram and bicycle lanes.
