Funny enough, the baseball team that you went to go see (the Washington Nationals), the one that seemed like it couldn't be more American - is originally from a French speaking part of the world! Once, they were the Montreal Expos, in Quebec, Canada, and they would do announcements in both French and English as well as in their programs and other printed material. (In fact, there was a season where the game wouldn't even be broadcast in English at all!) They were there from 1969 to 2004 before relocating to the States, and there are still fans there hoping a team comes back to Montreal.
I remember how shocked I was when I visited Montreal a few years ago and found that people had a flame lit that they'd get their team back.
And Montreal keeps rejecting the idea of another team, even though they would be a prime candidate
They shouldn't have left Montreal
"Halloween isn't even over and they've already got the Christmas stuff out!!!" - Spoken like a true American! Lol!
You may be the only French woman who has publicly approved of the quintessential basic American cuisine: the chili-dog! Merci.
Again, she proves that her name is accurate. She is fantastic... Hope you enjoyed yourself... It's certainly our pleasure having you in the USA.
I love seeing people have fun and feel welcome in my country and not the same USA bashing you see on yt from people who have never visited. You’re welcome any time. Glad you had fun 🇺🇸
""They'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. The one constant through all the years has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game -- it's a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good, and it could be again."
-- Terrence Mann, on just what the game of baseball means to American culture.
And he's not wrong. Congratulations on your first live baseball game! You're an honorary American now!
Hi Frenchie. Sorry that you had a rainy day for your baseball game. It really kept the crowd down and wasn't a typical American baseball experience. The more powerful medications are only available at the pharmacy, with a doctor's prescription. I lost track of you shortly after your Normandy trip, and it's good to see that you have a new channel and are doing well. Thanks Marie.
Yep that looked like a miserable baseball experience.
Bonjour Marie! You really made me laugh Marie! A young French woman comes to America and checks out all the French food items in the store lol!!!! With several photos of Marie with French Fries lol!!!!! Hope my fellow Americans made your time here here a truly wonderful and pleasant experience. I do hope you come back soon. Maybe come up here to Connecticut where I live. Connecticut is between New York and Boston. Hope to visit France some day soon. Maybe you can be my tour guide?!
Thank you for the like Marie. Passez Une Vraiment Merveilleuse Journee!!
Treat our lil French Fry wonderful yall!
Dont make me come up there from Louisiana🤔
Welcome Marie! We are honored to have you for as long as we can!
A person's first ballgame is always a special experience. Glad you had fun!
There are different classes of medicines and Pharmaceuticals. Over the counter refers to drugs not requiring a prescription such as immodium, alka-seltzer, aspirin, sinus or cold medicines. However drugs that have serious side effects or may have significant other effects unless used properly are required to have a doctor's prescription and are then filled by a Pharmacist. The Pharmacy window in the background was closed and the Pharmacist off duty (after business hours). No Prescription drugs were being filled and the counter window locked and closed. I agree Xmas decorations out so early just devalues Christmas--makes it seem less special. There is another Holiday in between, Thanksgiving (my favorite).
The funny fruit was a peach. Glad you are experiencing and having fun in America. Enjoy Maria
The confusion about the peach was funny. 🤣
🥲🤣
Something I didn't know I needed to see: A French girl in the USA eating a french fry and giving a thumbs up.
Free refills used to not be a thing. The 70s was a rough time for a thirsty kid. Then one of the fast food places did free refills in the early or mid 80s. Maybe it was burger King. Then other fast food places followed like McDonald's and Wendy's. Then nicer restaurants. Then most every where. At first the fast food workers got your refill behind the counter for you. That proved to be a lot of extra hassle, so they put dispensers in the lobby area for self serve by the late 80s. Now even gas stations have you get slushies and fountain drinks yourself.
Nothing says America than going out to the ball park. My second home when I was young was Tiger stadium in Detroit in which I lived close enough to walk to.
I always think how much things have changed as when I was a kid going to Tiger Stadium, pretty much you could only get hot dogs, pretzels, peanuts, ice cream, and cotton candy. Now Comerica Park, Ford Field, and LCA all have some really diverse and tasty options! The last Tiger Game I went to, my Employer has one of the special outdoor buffet eating areas, and then I ended up only watchinga few minutes of the game, as the rest of the time I spent walking around, going to the different food places, the Tiger Store, and my favorite place was the bar with the fire pit like counters and all the nice seating (I can never recall the name.)
Fun video!! Sorry your first baseball game had to be in the cold rain haha I promise baseball is sooo fun in the summertime! Haha cheers!
One of these teams made it to the World Series last week. The Phillies. Only in America do we call it the World Series and don't invite the world to play... ; )) sorry for the rain.
I think that Marie is as excited as a kid in a candy store!
When I was living in Tahiti back in1973, I was with the family of a Tahitian policeman. He was about 180cm and 100 kilos. His name was Fredo Tetuamanuhiri.
But his nickname was "Papi" :).
Just for your information, you saw the Philadelphia Phillies play the Washington Nationals in baseball. The Philadelphia Phillies just won the play off games, and are now going on to take on the Houston Astros in the World Series. That is the Championship series. You saw a great game.
Oh boy, you should see a Walmart Supercenter. The one by me had a Mcdonalds, mechanic/car service center, garden center, barber, nail salon, optician, etc
Let's get this young lady's subs up to 10K folks! These travel vids are Awesome!!! Keep 'em comin', Marie !!
Aww thank you! 😇
"This place is huge. I'm ready to eat!" Haha too funny Marie. You look like you're having a great time, good for you. Looking forward to more videos!
Wish you had better weather for the game.
Glad you enjoyed some American places, also love your nails !
This truly made me smile. I am so glad that you had a blast at the ballpark. Too bad about the rain delay. I really liked the Rotty puppy. Can't wait for the other videos.
Oh, I meant to ask, did you buy a Homefree CD while at Walmart?
They do seem to be putting Holiday stuff out earlier and earlier.
But, some of us work hard on Christmas displays, and need time to get stuff, plan, and set up.
People bring their "support animals" into stores in US also you might see some on airplanes, in restaurants, etc. as long as they can behave or are trained and have a certificate they can go with their owner many places.
'Even a small Walmart is huge'. Very true. Too big most times. I would prefer a smaller place with smaller selection. But your legs don't cramp up.
You look as if you are starting your adventures in the USA off with a bang. Watching you at the Baseball game and Walmart was great. You look like a kid in a candy store. I'm so happy for you. I hope that your remaining adventures bring you much more happiness. I can't wait for your next video. Again stay safe!!!
It rained at my first MLB game, too. I was 11 and convinced Mom to get my Dad and I tickets to a Father's Day game. Two rain delays, but I wasn't bothered. It was a little better attended because it was a holiday though. Also, as an Arkansan, I'm glad you got to go to a nice Walmart. We have nice ones here, because it's the headquarters. In some parts of the country they are super ran down and have a bad reputation.
Mustang ,Mustang.. et vache qui rit..Excellent ..
I'm sorry you didn't get to enjoy a true ball game in good weather with a full crowd and a real game feeling !!!
Wait for my football game experience... 🤣
Yay! Day 2 !! I am so excited for you, Marie! ✨🤗 Although it was a bit wet, looks like you had a great day! And, yes, I've said many many times - don't go shopping at Walmart when you're hungry! haha 🤣 There are waaaay too many tempting things in every row! It gets expensive quickly! 😋 The pizza looked really good too - and I've heard from many of my international friends, the ranch dip is so much better when it's freshly made! It varies in flavor a bit from place to place, but it's always very tasty! Yum! 🥰 See you on day 3 !! (I'm really enjoying these videos, hun! Thank you! 💗)
Nationals used to be the Montreal expos a french province of Canada.
You do need a prescription for most medicines in the US, but some things are specifically allowed over-the-counter. I think you can buy paracetamol and things like that in any French pharmacy. It’s like that.
Yes, Christmas decorations show up far too early. Sometimes even at the beginning of August. It's absurd, and ridiculous. (This is well over two US Holidays [Halloween and Thanksgiving] ahead of time.) I wish Christmas stuff didn't show up after the end of November.
I came across your channel. Welcome to the United States!! I look forward to viewing the rest of your journey.
You drove by my apartment building in the first few seconds of the video 😂 glad you enjoyed your time in DC!
Oh 😂
Christmas in October? Pfft... amateurs. Over a decade ago I worked at a Super Kmart that was chosen to be a test store for the new line of Martha Stewart holiday collections. 14 pastel color coordinated schemes (on top of the normal cheaper in-store brand), including trees, decorations, and a few metric tons of glitter. As the test store we had to have the entire Christmas set up on display and running by the second week of September. Four months of Christmas decorations....
The customers were extremely annoyed, some outright hateful, but no one hated it more than the workers. To this day, 12+ years later, I think I'm still carrying around some of that glitter that can never, ever, be washed off.
PS: Most major retail chains in America start seeing the distinct red-striped cartons that are easily identifiable as Christmas merchandise start trickling into the stockroom around the end of July. Really picks up fourth-week Sept through October, so that it can all be set up by Nov 1st at the latest.
5:55 LOL, it is not only Walmart but various supermarket branches can have their own built-in pharmacy and with pharmacy drive thru. Also, a stand alone pharmacy brand usually will have a mini market built in too, so in the end you'll find supermarkets with built-in pharmacies and pharmacies with built-in mini markets. You will find gas stations which also double as 24/7 mini markets.
That's too bad you got rained on. It's a blast going to a baseball game on a sunny day. Apparently you went to a "neighborhood" Walmart. The really big ones are called Walmart Supercenters. Maybe you could shop in one before you leave. The video is really making me hungry...first the chili-dog, then the pizza! Watching you is a lot of fun! :)
Hello ..To bad it was raining the day of the baseball game, on a nice day the stadium would have been full of people and a lot more fun 😊
I’m so happy that you enjoyed yourself when you visited the America the little Puppy was so cute
The people you are with seem to be very nice and showing you around. I hope you are enjoying everything and that we in the USA are treating you in a good way ENJOY your time
It's not true that you can get prescriptions over the counter without seeing a doctor. There are a lot of medicinal items at Walmart, but you definitely need a prescription to get medicine.
Christmas decorations out in October. Ugh! It didn't used to be like that, but it gets worse every year. Companies putting stuff out early for $$$$
Happy to see you having a good time over here.
😆 Yes, I am often guilty of grocery shopping while hungry. Looks like you had a good time.
I hope you had fun at the ballgame. Baseball is so American. It is a great sport! Holiday decorations??? Some companies like to get an early start. Have FUN! Save room for a ballpark hotdog and fries.. The best hotdogs are all beef. Hope you enjoyed the game. Rain is no problem, however if it starts to lighting get under something. Be safe.... The local Walmart has an eye doctor, a pharmacy, and car center... You can see almost anything at Wallyworld. In West Virginia WalMart is usually the largest employer in the area. Not a rule. In the produce section, those were peaches. Some grown right here in West Virginia. You are correct girl. Do not shop for food when you are hungry.. How was the piazza?
Delicious 🤤
I love watching French, German and English people in Walmart for the first time. Never gets old.
Ah, La vache qui rit! It was funny to see your joy at “The Laughing Cow”. It’s odd to see familiar things in a new way. I enjoyed this video a lot. Glad you had a great first weekend, Marie. I look forward to the next video. 👍
I always enjoy your excitement to American muscle cars. When I was 7 we went to Greece ,the family homeland and I was captivated by the sight of Citroens.
FrenchTastic: always enjoy your videos, always entertaining. Thank you
Nothing better than a hotdog and a beer at a baseball game. One of those things for me that somehow makes me feel complete in that moment as weird as that sounds. Even tho I am not a big baseball fan, lol
Your English is exceptional, and you are a very good sport
It’s too bad the Nationals were not very good this year and at the end of the year and on a rainy day the crowds are less but it’s OK! You still got to see a baseball game I love that you had a hotdog and enjoyed it, and I’m glad you got your own baseball card. :-) I totally agree with your sentiment that Walmart should wait on the Christmas decorations. Regardless, I love how you really took your time and explored all that Walmart had to offer. The peach confusion was amusing. :-) i’ve never heard of Brothers Pizza. Hope it was good. Thanks for this excellent video Marie!
10:29 C'est une pêche.😆 Perhaps you got confused with what we call "nectarines" over here, or it's a different variety from what you might find in Europe, like blood peaches (pêche sanguine) or similar. Or you might be comparing it to Pêches de Vigne in France. We do carry those in the USA, but they aren't as abundant.
Next time over, I recommend South Florida (Tampa-Naples-Miami) or Colorado-Utah.
welcome to the USA. We hope you enjoy yourself while you are visiting.
I wish the weather had been better for you up there, especially during the ballgame. Perhaps on your next trip, you can visit my great state of Texas so you can get some great Texas BBQ. Best wishes! 🙂
Some stores set up for Christmas early so that they do the layouts for their other stores. We used to do it in July, then the other stores would follow our plans.
Too bad you didn't catch the Phillies in Philly. They are going to the World Series now. First time in 13 years. Yes, it is way too early for Christmas decorations. It use to be that we had Halloween at the end of Oct., then it is Thanksgiving at the end of Nov. and finally Christmas at the end of Dec. Now we're getting Christmas stuff before Thanksgiving.
The way you look at sporty cars, a trip to a dealer for a test drive might have been fun for you.
I am really getting a "kick" out of watching these episodes about your visit. I hope the rain let up for some of it.
Your WalMart adventure was quite amusing! 😊
The peaches thing is so hilarious. "What is this? Is it an apple?" 🤣
I'd apologize Marie but it's too funny. It's a peach. It's good. Buy it. Eat it.
I think she's confused because the variety in France tend to have red skins, like blood or wine peaches.
This is the first time commenting on any youtube channel, and seeing your love for American cars and how many trips you made to the US I wanted to let you know about some carr shows held in Pennsylvania. In the town of Carlisle, Pa there are shows held throughout the year. The 2 I wanted to let you know about are The Ford Nationals on June 2nd till the 4th 2023 and The Chrysler Nationals on July 14th till the 16th 2023. You will LOSE your mind at either of these shows.
Marie, my local Walmart had Christmas decorations up in September. It's ridiculous. Sadly the bread is nowhere as good as in your home
So fun to watch some one react to what is mundane and every day for me.
The new seasonal merchandise does go out seemingly early because as one group of seasonal items sell down there would be empty shelves otherwise.
Marie....I just adore your vids )))
Thank you 😊
Thanks for sharing, yes the Walmart Super Center Stores are ridiculously big, I abstain from those stores. I go to my local Walmart community market which is basically a grocery store with a pharmacy. Although you can by any and all over the counter medication, for prescription medication you do need a prescription from your doctor. Since the pandemic Walmart has special services for groceries. You can order your groceries on line, pay for them and then go to a designated parking spot and they will bring your groceries to your car. You can also have your groceries delivered to your house.
Congratulations Marie on going to your very first Baseball game. And going to your very first Walmart store. You are an American because you got to do those 2 things.
when i go shopping for food if im hungry i want to pick up everything but if im not hungry nothing seems to be what i want
Hahaha
So somewhere towards the end of the videos maybe you can tell us how many states visited (and other Country if applicable)? What some of your impressions were? Will this spark the bug to travel? Did you have trouble with English or people with accents? Did you encounter new words or slang? Did you buy an atlas or map? Were the distances as you expected? Were people friendly? What new or delicious food did you sample? Were you able to speak French anywhere? Did you take additional airplanes or travel by train? Did you ever use a tour bus (usually double decker) to tour a particular city and its landmarks?
The St. Louis Cardinals would be the best game to go to if you want the experience of a baseball game in America. There would have been 40,000+ people there rain or not
Oh God, please stay away from the self-proclaimed BFIB’s
We even have another holiday after Halloween. Thanksgiving then Christmas. Walmart is all about the money so they get the Christmas out as soon as they can. Glad you're enjoying yourself.
It looks like you are enjoying the "American" experience. Baseball (with hot dogs), Walmart, and Pizza. Now you just need apple pie. HA! Or Pumpkin pie this time of year.
That was a lot of fun watching your reactions to our WalMart stores and to a live professional baseball game. Glad you had fun even though it rained. Hopefully you got to go to one on a sunny day. Watching a pro baseball game live is the best way to watch the game in my opinion. It was fun to see your perplexed reaction to the store having Christmas decorations out before Halloween is over. I grew up with it so to my mind it's normal but you're definitely not the only one who's felt it to be odd. An excellent video Marie! I had a great time watching it. Looking forward to the next one!
Target is a another more quality "big box" retalier here in the states. Because of it's percived higher quality and more pleasant experience and(inho true) some ppl like to pronounce it Tar'jeh as if it were a French word.
Brothers Pizza, best pizza ever! At least the one that used to be in Dallas TX.
Your first US major sporting event!! ⚾ I know you have been waiting for this day for a long time. Unfortunately, it rained, but I see that did not dampen your enthusiasm. Yes, lots of 🎃 items this time of year. Were you able to see some houses decorated for Halloween? Some people really get into the spirit. I also do not like that retail stores display X-mas products this early in the year. Thankyou for sharing your journey with us. Eagerly awaiting your next vlog. ❤❤🏈🏈
OMG I am new to your channel (I lived in France for a year btw, but, that seems like a lifetime ago now). So sorry you got a *rainy* game day. It is so much more awesome when the sun is shining, and you just sorta hang out and eat/drink, talk, etc. Come up to Boston for a Red Sox game on another trip...
I've been to that Brother's Pizza. You were just down the road from me. There is a bagel shop just a few doors down from there that has wonderful treats.
We take so many things for granted like Walmart and ice in our drinks and free refills.
Salut 😃 ⚾
For your first weekend in the states it must have been so exciting that you had to pinch yourself that it was real, seeing you at a big 🏟️ at long last was awesome even know it wasn't the best of games along with the rain it didn't dampen your spirits & keep on smiling through, I wish you got to join in with the baby 🦈 shark dance mascot like a few years ago when Gerardo Parra( 88) & the Nationals won the series anyway that Chil dog sure was delicious. 😋
Going to Walmart it looked like they've got everything you want for a spooky Halloween 🎃 a candy crazed sugar rush maybe I would give those cookies a try, ain't candy covered apples always been traditional to didn't see any. It's funny about the peaches I wouldn't think there any different in France, it's nice they've got belvita biscuits , as for the baguettes maybe they just stick a label on & call it french, you would know if it's the same texture or not, they do say you can buy just about anything there & there is a lot of weird stuff I've come across including a giant pillow shaped like a baguette , a squirrel picture you can stick in a toilet, why would you, chia pet pots shaped like TV characters including the golden girls, so weird & pizza flavoured ice cream maybe you missed it yuk! . Your right about Xmas, profit comes before respecting tradition like in Europe, it's annoying when as early as September it's on all the shopping channels, believe it or not some people buy their decorations during the summer it's supposed to be cheaper then, don't you mostly just use the same ones as last year, this winter going to be extra hard on everyone, I hope your all prepped & ready out there .
What better way to round up a trip then with a pizza 🍕 does it really matter how you eat it don't most people just use their hands when it cools down, looked crispy & tasty.
Driving past those Mustang's earlier on , if you really want to drive one there's nothing stopping you, there has to be someone at a car show who's generous enough, maybe you could rent one for a day, anyway thanks again it's been joyful following your adventures , looking forward to episode 3 , if you do carve & light up a pumpkin & other spooky stuff please do share, all the best, have a wonderful weekend. 💗🍁🌈 🐕 ✌️
Consumerism in America. Glad you liked Walmart I personally hate Walmart. You got to a baseball game that's great. So glad you are having fun. Stay safe and don't eat too much.
That yellow fruit looked like a nectarine-a hybrid of a peach and a plum. They're delicious.
I'm from DC. Go Nats! Baseball in DC is great!!! And the Ben's half smoke is AMAZING! Love seeing the US through your eyes!
Perfect day for a ball game. Probably in the 40s. Rainy. 2K people there. No atmosphere like a summertime game at All ! Well... at least you made it to an MLB stadium !!!
You really need to see a baseball game on the west coast. Like Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on a sold-out warm summer night wearing only shorts and no sleeves. It is not a baseball game when it's wet, cold, and raining out with no crowd.
So happy you are having a great time. Sorry, the game got rained out though. True, never go shopping when you are hungry.
At 10:14 what is it an apple,,, one of the cutest funniest things ive ever heard i love watching youre videos
I'm a US citizen who has traveled all across Europe, and everything being so different is what is so cool. When you made a statement about how to flush a toilet I had to smile. My group traveling across Europe laughed about learning 101 ways to flush a toilet🙂
Even at Walmart you need to see a doctor first before getting a prescription filled. Those items you saw were considered OTC (over the counter) which means they don't require a special prescription and are not controlled drugs.
I have to write again that you posted an excellent video. Very well done!
I hope that in the future you post a video that has the entire trip in it - from start finish.
That video would be hours and hours long 🤣
@@FrenchTasticExplorations yup those are peaches, but if they look like that and are NOT fuzzy, they’re nectarines
Too bad it rained during your first ballgame experience. I guess that's what kept a lot of fans from attending. But it looked like you had a good time. And you looked like you had a good time at Wal Mart. Great video and can't wait to see more.
Just found and watched your episode 1 in DC and then this one. Have now subscribed. You're an interesting and (in my humble opinion) very beautiful lady and I look forward to the rest of your videos!
Wait until you see American football, it's super exciting. Did you know the British first call your type of football soccer ⚽️ ? America adopted the term,the the British switched back to football.
