Q1) In which French subway system was the RESTE music video filmed in?

A1) The music video was filmed in the Lyon Metro (Subway). Lyon is the third largest city in France and about a 4 hour drive south of Paris. It has been the French capital of gastronomy for centuries and is where many famous chefs are located.

The video below shows everyday life in the Lyon Metro (Subway) system. The Lyon Metro is famous for its Line D driverless subway cars.

Q2: Maître GIMS is currently one of the most popular pop artists in France. What does he have in common with Gandhi, the famous Indian non-violence revolutionary?

A2) They both have the same first name. Maître GIMS was born in Zaire as Gandhi Bilel Djuna. He immigrated to France as a child and became the most played artist on French TV and radio in 2018. In the video below, during a TV interview, he talks about how surprised he is with his success, as an immigrant from Zaire to becoming a major French music star. (The interviewers speak clearly without mumbling so this video is great for listening practice.)
