It is because all Paris Metro trains are ATO (automatic train operation) and a few lines have rubber tyres, which means there is better acceleration. The Victoria and Central lines in London have ATO and are as fast, if not faster.
That's Bir-Hakeim Station on Line 6, with a direct access to the Tour Eiffel. Periodically, the Paris Metro will have short-term station closures due to maintenance.

It's a lil weird on the station at 2:15, it's on viaduct but dives immediately into tunnel.

thats because that station is located on a hill, 'colline de passy' (stations name: passy)
