What are the differences between these two sentences
1) Il habite à dix minutes de Marseille.

Thank you!

I understand the literal meaning of this phrase but not really the sense of what she's saying. Agreeing? disagreeing?
Where has the link to this lesson gone for above mentioned special cases of past participle agreeing with the object when using avoir? I would like to see this lesson,it is not popping up in my feed as the question is only testing Quelles (A2)..

I would like to particularly congratulate the person who gave us this piece. Not only was it enlightening for me, but it was also a perfect B2 listening exercise. Thank you. Now to my question. I understand the admonition about the use of present tense to relate a historical story. How does the use of the future perfect in the first paragraph relate to this? Were there other choices for this tense?
Google Translate has 'envoûtant' instead of 'fascinantes' as translation for 'mesmerising' - and Word reference seems to agree. Is this an OK substitute?
The pronunciation is taken for granted in this lesson. It should be included.
