Since cancer has made me mostly bedridden your storytelling is a great comfort to me. It allows my mind to travel to the far and exotic places and times you describe. And all these tales of human history helps me put things in perspective. And the soft, calming, soothing sound of your voice is very comforting. So I want to thank you for making the effort to bring us all this gift.
I never understood how a voice could be 'velvety' or 'silky' until the first time I heard The French Whisperer speak. My dude has the greatest voice of all time, he could talk about literally anything and I'd listen.
I know of no expression appropriate to describe how I feel receiving this notification to-day. I work a very physically demanding job out in the hot sun all day long and couldn't wait to get home and wash the day away in the tub & listen to you, Mr. Whisperer. This is some next level excellence in presentation, subject matter and execution. Excelsior!
All your videos are a wonderful mixture of education and relaxation and this is no exception! Thank you for all the care and time you put into your work - it shows and is appreciated.
Seriously... your content was great before your break... but since you came back it´s been insane! I can´t wait for the next upload...everytime. Good work and much much appreciated!
This was bliss. Thank you for your hard work in creating such interesting, comprehensive, and unique content that always seems to come out completely flawless. We are so lucky to have you!
This would be an incredible podcast series - ASMR history! And French! I studied French for 10 years through grade school and college and your videos inspire me to restart my work. Thank you!
Your timing on this couldn't be better. Starting work on a Master's thesis next month looking at the long-term effects of the late 19th century railway in my province. I am going to listen to this so many times over the next year. xD
I love how this is not only relaxing but educational for something that could be either placed in the background or taken for serious listening, it really helps learning something new, having fun and kicking back during. I enjoy all the topics too! Such a great channel, I'm glad I stumbled upon it.
This video is incredible. I have been fascinated by the orient express since my father showed me the stories of Agatha Christie. Thank you so much for the work you put into making this relaxing video experience.
Thanks to your videos I have learnt so many new things before falling asleep. I love the fact that there are time stamps so I can return on the following night so I won't miss anything. Best channel ever!
Wow this is bliss ♡ Love train sounds, so soothing, but love even more that you left out the sound whilst talking and bring them back at the end to fall asleep to..perfect!
Oh, I love the second hour of ambient noise! That is such a great idea and it’s a great way to give me something to drop off to sleep to as I digest the wonderful history lesson you’ve brought us. It’s also raining where I am, and the two sounds together are magical.
Aw man I love trains. And combining railroads with probably the best asmrtist ever is one of the greatest videos I could ask for. Thanks and keep up the amazing work
This is NEXT LEVEL perfect asmr paired with calming informative information PAIRED with visually pleasing aesthetics. I meannnnn, PERFECTION…. Is that youuuu?????
Before CV19 I was taking a train to/from work each day in Utah... My commute via train is 15 min each way where the drive is 30 min so works out to be quite efficient, more cost effective, and more eco friendly. I do miss the daily commute. There also still remains an active coal fired train line from Durango -> Silverton Colorado... If you are ever visiting Western CO I would highly recommend a ride and stopping by the zip line tours as well (soaring tree top adventures). Ouray, Telluride, and the Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde should also be on your itenerary.
Thank you for elevating the ASMR experience with such interesting, original, intelligent content! I don’t think I can handle watching another Cranial Nerve Exam... although the 5 people who disliked this video clearly need one lol
I mean, cranial nerve exams are good. I think this guy could make a really good CNE video- he has one of my favorite voices in the entire ASMR community
Earning a double major in mechanical engineering and history I thought this would be right up my alley, but I can’t tell because I’m always asleep 15 minutes in
Showing up early to the party just to say thank you so much French for everything that you do for us! I hope you keep making these videos for years to come! I will be sure to fall asleep to this one tonight :)
As always, amazing content. I cant even begin to describe how much I prefer your videos over the average ASMR videos. Thanks for all you've done with this channel!! Huge fan here.
This video has made me think it would be absolutely wonderful if you could read Mystery on the Orient Express. Such a classic and wonderful book in your hands would just be a complete joy to listen to. I cannot wait for your next video! Merci beaucoup!
I keep coming back to this video all the time! So relaxing and so well written. Plus the sounds are fantastic! Thank you French Whisperer for another good night's sleep!
The way you say "world war" is so relaxing. Which in of itself sounds a strange thing to say. A history of the world wars (first or second) would be great
I just discovered your channel after hearing you on an ad for the Calm app. Thank you for creating such excellent content. I can't believe you don't have more subscribers, though I'm sure someday you will have millions!
You should meet my Dad, he is not mightily keen on the French at all!!!, which is ironic because he has a small amount of French ancestry, again I say a small amount but he does have some.
I love this history of the Orient Express and train travel at the turn of the century, and it’s fascinating to read in the news of new long distance night trains, or hotel trains, being brought back in Europe with the increased interest in train travel over flying. Check out Midnight Trains that is a new French line radiating out from Paris! I’m looking forward to trying it out! Love your well researched and interesting stories told in such a calm relaxing manner. Thank you!
Ok. Wow. I am speechless. This video popped up in my recomended and i like 5min in and... its perfect. Learning new things while falling asleep? Yes please!!! Subscribed!!! I want to explore all your videos, this captivated me so much and in such a speed, wow, just wow. Thank you for all your hard work and all the research that you put into this video. Thank you very much. I cant wait to fall asleep and dream about trains 😊 (when i was little, trains were my favourite, our cottage is near train station and i was there watching trains every time i had an oputurnity to do so). Also, you sir have a very nice smooth and deep voice, i am very picky when it comes to men, but i definitely can and will fall asleep to this 😁 again, thank you for all your hard work!

Safe travel and best of health kind stranger
I have colon and brain cancer
Hopefully you are better
The Velvet Voice Express
Absolutely! 🚂❤️
I never understood how a voice could be 'velvety' or 'silky' until the first time I heard The French Whisperer speak. My dude has the greatest voice of all time, he could talk about literally anything and I'd listen.
🤣..too true!

I have "watched" this video every night for the past two weeks and I have still not gotten past the first 10 minutes... That's how good this is.
Me too. Once upon a time😴😴
Sameeeeee👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

I studied French for 10 years through grade school and college and your videos inspire me to restart my work. Thank you!
I went back to this video to fall asleep and read this, I hope you have continued to study, it's never too late to learn :)
@@low5738 This was such a lovely message!
Yes, I'm still studying! I find it far too fascinating to stop.
Your timing on this couldn't be better. Starting work on a Master's thesis next month looking at the long-term effects of the late 19th century railway in my province. I am going to listen to this so many times over the next year. xD

Hands down my favorite channel on RUclips
This video is incredible. I have been fascinated by the orient express since my father showed me the stories of Agatha Christie. Thank you so much for the work you put into making this relaxing video experience.
What is it about it that you find fascinating?, just asking.
Thank you for these wonderful ASMR videos of yours, they are of excelent quality and the topics are always interesting and exciting 😀
Thanks to your videos I have learnt so many new things before falling asleep. I love the fact that there are time stamps so I can return on the following night so I won't miss anything. Best channel ever!
It only takes about 30 minutes or less to put me to sleep. Whenever I'm having a hard time going to sleep, I put one of your videos on and enjoy.
I bet this is gonna be better than the movie.
Looking at a rock is better than the movie 😢
Which movie?
@@arcticjungle4741 oh no, was the new one that bad?
I don't know man that was a damn good movie
Your voice and that rhythmic rocking of the Orient Express ~ soooo soothing,! 🌸
I don’t usually watch the visuals of ASMR videos, but yours are the exception. The detailed table tops you present are really beautiful. Thank you
Wow this is bliss ♡ Love train sounds, so soothing, but love even more that you left out the sound whilst talking and bring them back at the end to fall asleep to..perfect!
Having Jorgen Von Strangle talk to me about trains until I fall asleep wasn’t quite how I thought my night would end, but I’m not complaining!
Oh, I love the second hour of ambient noise! That is such a great idea and it’s a great way to give me something to drop off to sleep to as I digest the wonderful history lesson you’ve brought us. It’s also raining where I am, and the two sounds together are magical.
Aw man I love trains. And combining railroads with probably the best asmrtist ever is one of the greatest videos I could ask for. Thanks and keep up the amazing work
Voice of absolute velvet.
Why am i addicted to this? Pure floating bliss.
"Hello everyone"😳
My eyes roll back and I'm uncounsious.
🙏🙏🙏❤👍🏻🤣
I have always had to have background noise while I sleep usually random podcasts but my God this dude has a talent
Perfect timing! Many thanks; the second hour of train sounds is genius. Goodnight . . . . .
This is NEXT LEVEL perfect asmr paired with calming informative information PAIRED with visually pleasing aesthetics. I meannnnn, PERFECTION…. Is that youuuu?????
I love the atmosphere in this video. Simply phenomenal.
2 hours!!! what have we done to deserve this!? Thank you so much for uploading. 😭🤩😍
I cheated a bit to be honest, this is a regular 50 minutes video with 70 minutes of train sounds at the end #sorrynotsorry
@@TheFrenchWhispererASMR Thank you so much for this. I love the sound of a train when I try to sleep! Perfect timing.

I love these!!! It’s like adult bedtime stories
I LOVE the visual on this, so perfect! This is one of my new favorite FWhisperer videos now, incredible!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your hand gestures ties everything together

the only other channel that comes close is Let's Find Out ASMR - but TFW is still better and more prolific
The Orient Express... one of my dreams... thank you so much 🌹🚂
Earning a double major in mechanical engineering and history I thought this would be right up my alley, but I can’t tell because I’m always asleep 15 minutes in
Thank you so much for making this video, I am sick in bed and this video has helped my nerves calm down immensely
Great video as ever, so glad your back doing content

Amazing how you can think of this stuff. It is definitely appreciated
I love your work. Truly gifted. Thank you
Omg you are so the best best BEST ASMR on RUclips ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
as usual, this listener is spellbound. Bravo.
I used to live in Stockton. I now live 3 miles from George Stephensons cottage, train history
Everything here is perfection.
Two hours. The stuff of dreams
Thank you so much for all that you do. I couldn't be more grateful for all the sleep you've helped me get to.
An innumerable thanks for all that you do.

You are incredible good Sir. Thank you for your fine and informative content!
I keep coming back to this video all the time! So relaxing and so well written. Plus the sounds are fantastic! Thank you French Whisperer for another good night's sleep!
This is perfection throughout, from the story to the silverware you chose.
I’m saving this as my bedtime story! Thanks for the great work you do!
You get more wonderfully creative and interesting all the time. Thank you.
Thank you so much for these posts.
This is just so cool. I enjoy it immensely (while I'm still awake). Thank you for sharing.
Was just wondering, perhaps and idea for the next video?
A history of the musketeers? Thought it would be pretty interesting
Wow this is awesome! Thank you so much!
One of my new favorites! Both intresting and very relaxing! Insanely great as always!
Merci for another wonderful video, FW! Love the train sounds/white noise at the end--so soothing. I will sleep like a baby.
You sir, are a true artist!
This is the best channel on RUclips
I approve this message 😬
The way you say "world war" is so relaxing. Which in of itself sounds a strange thing to say. A history of the world wars (first or second) would be great

I love all things French, and wished I lived there. Your videos were discovered by accident, and I'm literally in love.
You should meet my Dad, he is not mightily keen on the French at all!!!, which is ironic because he has a small amount of French ancestry, again I say a small amount but he does have some.
You are my favorite ASMR artist ❤️
Love this!! Thank you!
I knew this would be good when I saw the table layout. 🚂
You're accent and your deep voice makes all of your vids perfect!
Thank you so much for this
Watching this while I'm on my first sleeper train
This is an amazing video! Thank you ❤
Thank you! Such an amazing video!
I'm so glad that you are back!
It is beyond me how you don’t have a million subscribers!❤️
I know right, I find it scandalous ;)
Really amazing videos. Thank you.

Early days of flight would make an awesome “TFW” video :)
Thank you very, very much 😊💖
I was looking for interesting asmr videos and I found your old ones, I got curious and now I think I found the perfect asmr channel!
welcome!
Excellent, as usual!
Puedes hacer este vídeo en español, es genial la calidad del audio relaja mucho y este tema me encanta, muchas gracias por tus vídeos
Wonderful!!
J'adore l'orient express et bien sur qu'on pense directement à Hercule Poirot!!! Merci pour cette vidéo! 👍🏽😊
hello! merci à toi!
Just in time for bed! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️xoxox
I really loved this video! You did a great job on the overview of the history of rail transport, I loved how much detail you went into.
Merci beaucoup Monsieur 👍🙌
