I hear the Tangentielle Ouest (T13) will partly be the same, but it will cross urban streets in their dedicated lanes like regular local trams do, as a so called tram-train, which explains the need for these much smaller vehicles.

Maybe this one up north does the same, though?

Edit: stuff has to make sense, so I looked for an answer.
The tram-train above will indeed cross some urban fabric as a tram when the line is extended, if it doesn't yet.
The line is designed to eventually go from Noisy-le-Sec up to Sartrouville, which is big. Roughly 20 miles.
However, it will take time before this long route is complete. At least 10 years, they say.
