Where does the “Where am I? Lyon and Paris” meme come from?
The event occurred on Sunday, February 5, 2017, during a French presidential campaign. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, candidate for La France insoumise, held two simultaneous rallies. He spoke live in Lyon, while a video was broadcast via holographic technology at the Paris docks in Aubervilliers. The system had a two-second latency. Around 2:30 PM, during his Aubervilliers segment, he asked: "Where am I? I am in Lyon... and now in Paris!" Major outlets like TF1, RTL, and Euronews covered this on February 5 and 6, 2017. The exact origin of the specific English meme format remains unknown based on available sources.
