Recently, me and Braixy finished XXL 2 and I read the credits. Originally they outsourced art from "Abyss-Lights". Not to be mixed with Abylight Studios tho. Still, I found the old studio's website and...
Very strange. It's definitely part of the deleted Lutetia level, as we can see the windmill. But it's most likely a loading tunnel that would have been placed before the windmill level, as it's just a narrow street.
The straight architecture of the buildings (no cartoony skewness like in the final game) as well as the placeholder textures (rather realistic) make it look like something from a completely different game.

the arc de triomphe is about the only thing that would link this to XXL2, so... honestly I wonder if those screenshots ended up in the XXL2 page by mistake

is anyone able to play that video?

It might be some hastily put together pre-viz / "blocking" artwork
