The train sounds aren't throughout the entire video? I'm pouting. 😞

[@lalouvesolitaire1868]

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.

[@pastacat69]

You still around man?

[@ThePatriotParadox]

God bless you, I too have severe health problems and just wanted to say I wish you the best and nothing but light and love.

[@falconeshield]

Safe travel and best of health kind stranger

[@snapman218]

I have colon and brain cancer

[@WolfsøülLive]

Hopefully you are better

[@StriatedMuscle]

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!

[@katzenjammer3538]

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.

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

thank you!

The Velvet Voice Express

[@poetryjones7946]

Absolutely! 🚂❤️

[@IRLTheGreatZarquon]

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.

[@anavargasbrannen6987]

🤣..too true!

[@isatthere]

Totally... .

[@GoodGirlKiki]

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.

[@sandyno1089]

Me too. Once upon a time😴😴

[@tjj2040]

Sameeeeee👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

[@duece191]

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!

[@lizziek1229]

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!

[@twitchybristles]

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

[@PunemySported]

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!

[@low5738]

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 :)

[@PunemySported]

@@low5738 This was such a lovely message! Yes, I'm still studying! I find it far too fascinating to stop.

[@DwightLivesMatter]

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.

[@MrTattooASMR]

I bet this is gonna be better than the movie.

[@arcticjungle4741]

Looking at a rock is better than the movie 😢

[@ListenToPumpkinMusic]

Which movie?

[@melissasaint3283]

@@arcticjungle4741 oh no, was the new one that bad?

[@connormesey4734]

I don't know man that was a damn good movie

[@jessf3049]

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

[@ommy7672]

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

[@5ynthesizerpatel]

the only other channel that comes close is Let's Find Out ASMR - but TFW is still better and more prolific

[@ChadThunderconk]

Hands down my favorite channel on KZbin

[@cmclsrnsee]

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.

[@thomasalmond3311]

What is it about it that you find fascinating?, just asking.

[@fermitthekrog6318]

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

[@wermlandsartorial]

Thank you for these wonderful ASMR videos of yours, they are of excelent quality and the topics are always interesting and exciting 😀

[@anttinieminen1529]

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!

[@cathje832]

"Hello everyone"😳 My eyes roll back and I'm uncounsious. 🙏🙏🙏❤👍🏻🤣

[@listener100]

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!

[@ragokueod]

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.

[@rhiaydel]

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.

[@kaycraite]

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

[@mrandsp]

Perfect timing! Many thanks; the second hour of train sounds is genius. Goodnight . . . . .

[@tjj2040]

This is NEXT LEVEL perfect asmr paired with calming informative information PAIRED with visually pleasing aesthetics. I meannnnn, PERFECTION…. Is that youuuu?????

Why am i addicted to this? Pure floating bliss.

Great video as ever, so glad your back doing content

[@mcfarlandbrothers2209]

I have always had to have background noise while I sleep usually random podcasts but my God this dude has a talent

[@chixdighueyz]

I love these!!! It’s like adult bedtime stories

[@tangomango2459]

I love the atmosphere in this video. Simply phenomenal.

[@poetryjones7946]

I LOVE the visual on this, so perfect! This is one of my new favorite FWhisperer videos now, incredible!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@michailalein]

2 hours!!! what have we done to deserve this!? Thank you so much for uploading. 😭🤩😍

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

I cheated a bit to be honest, this is a regular 50 minutes video with 70 minutes of train sounds at the end #sorrynotsorry

[@13crystalsister]

@@TheFrenchWhispererASMR Thank you so much for this. I love the sound of a train when I try to sleep! Perfect timing.

[@sierabowen8]

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!

[@Sterracks]

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 :)

[@gothicwendigo8848]

Thank you so much for making this video, I am sick in bed and this video has helped my nerves calm down immensely

[@RichMitch]

I used to live in Stockton. I now live 3 miles from George Stephensons cottage, train history

[@arrullo3658]

Ohhhh is always a delight to find a new video from you! Thanks!

[@akeminicole9438]

The detail you put into this video is unbelievable & your voice gives me such tingles omgg

[@bwneyez78]

Your hand gestures ties everything together

[@melumarsa6561]

I am so excited to be able to listen to you 2night. Gracias! Me fascina su canal.

[@aceofspades6667]

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.

[@ilgiardinosegreto2193]

The Orient Express... one of my dreams... thank you so much 🌹🚂

[@poetryjones7946]

Omg you are so the best best BEST ASMR on KZbin ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

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.

[@alexandrahighland977]

as usual, this listener is spellbound. Bravo.

[@bonehead3723]

Amazing how you can think of this stuff. It is definitely appreciated

[@nichoyeah]

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.

[@TroubledGremlin]

Tingles right from the beginning 😴

[@Nerdznewznow]

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

[@NathanASMR]

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!

[@kaarlimakela3413]

The old school dining car table setting ... delicious 🤤

[@ophelias4172]

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!

[@Knightfelled]

Was just wondering, perhaps and idea for the next video? A history of the musketeers? Thought it would be pretty interesting

[@msravenhearts]

Everything here is perfection.

[@kaywestmore1156]

I love your work. Truly gifted. Thank you

This is perfection throughout, from the story to the silverware you chose.

An innumerable thanks for all that you do.

[@ruzzyshuya4832]

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

[@sarahmartin7181]

I love all things French, and wished I lived there. Your videos were discovered by accident, and I'm literally in love.

[@thomasalmond3311]

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.

Puedes hacer este vídeo en español, es genial la calidad del audio relaja mucho y este tema me encanta, muchas gracias por tus vídeos

[@marilyndoering2501]

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!

[@yellowstonethepony7769]

Fun fact: the first electric train was built by Siemens. And it was a miniature.

[@RichMitch]

@@yellowstonethepony7769 that is a fun fact. Thanks very much

[@yellowstonethepony7769]

@@RichMitch yeah. It was 1879. And Berlin held the Berlin Industrial Exposition. Siemens ran their new invention. The electric Train. People could pay a little price that got donated to charity to ride the 300 meter long loop at the fair.
