Historically, what phrase did French elevator operators use to signify "Elevator going up"? The phrase is needed for a story written by my friend which has a scene in a hotel in Vichy France. My guess was the literal "ascenseur montant", but this did not get any relevant Google hits.

nom de l'étage
Je pense que le liftier (garçon d'ascenseur) nommait tout simplement l'étage où l'ascenseur se rendait. Ex: « Premier étage! ».
