Marie, your videos are so considerate and so well-made. I can't understand how anyone could criticize them. Don't listen to these critics; you are doing fine. I so appreciate you taking the time to visit America and show, in your videos, so many beautiful and positive things about the USA that even Americans might not be aware of. Thank you for doing what you do on UA-cam; your hard work is much appreciated!
I can't speak for anyone else but editing a lot of your festival visit was no big deal. As far as I'm concerned you need time to actually enjoy things without having to film everything. However, saying that, I really enjoyed how much you filmed when you went to the space museum! For me, so far ,the best part of your trip here to the US. You are an incredible person and allowing us to view so much of your life is very much appreciated. Okay, enough rambling on and on from me. I leave you with this, "Hugs From Idaho!"
Oh my Dear, mature beyond her years, Marie. You are doing fine. One person's tourist trap is another's paradise. You have my support as a Patreon because I love your channel. Happy Holidays to you and your fans
Keep smiling and don’t worry about people being silly in the comments. Mostly, people seem nicer on UA-cam than on other social media sites. Your hard work on the videos is really appreciated. I enjoyed this 8th chapter of your American trip and look forward to the next one. 👍
Your accent and broken English is as beautiful as you are, and you are interesting to listen to. You are doing amazing with our English language, and I love watching the world through your eyes and seeing the things that are fascinating to you! Great job with your Vlogs showing us these "Snapshots of your life" (an expression to describe what you were talking about with you showing some of the things you see and do while keeping the rest of it to yourself to enjoy and remember!)
Marie, I am SO glad that you are getting to see some of the REAL US, some of the small towns and "salt of the earth" people. The "french" knight? The Fleur-de-lis gave it away.
Bonjour Marie! I'm a little surprised that people said you're only going to "tourist traps" when I've mentioned many times in the comments on your videos how glad I was to see that you were not just going to "tourist traps" and were driving through suburbs and populated areas and seeing regular people, houses, places, and so on. But...ok then, lol! I'm so very glad to see you go to an event like that Apple Butter Festival. The primary thing I do for enjoyment is to go to festivals like that. They usually have food trucks and/or food tents, booths where people are selling their own made art, crafts, jewelry, and knick knacks, and there is often live music and "kids oriented" stuff. In fact, something kinda similar to that one is called Arts and Apples Festival held in Rochester Hills, Michigan each year. There also is an art fest in Plymouth, Michigan that is set in their "downtown" area, and it looked similar to that location because it's among the houses and businesses. As far as some of the comments go, it's unfortunate but it is what it is, especially on the internet. Thanks again for sharing yourself and your travels with us! Bonne journee! ~Be Blessed
Marie, thank you for the enthusiasm you demonstrate for our country. It's a pleasure seeing you experience new things and how much you enjoy most of our culture and customs. I watch your videos and I want to say that the reason we watch you is to hear about your experiences and your reactions so don't apologize for talking so much. We don't always agree (re: deer and careless drivers) but Americans usually have issue when foreigners tell us what things they see wrong with our country. Reactions differntiating customs between our cultures are what we expext to hear, I least I am interested in those things. Not that you do this, but others like to tell us how old fashioned we are and how much better it is in their country. You are very different than a lot of others because you have visited the touristy places in the US. but you are one of the few if not the only one who visits those flyover places no one else goes to. Keep doing what you do !! ☺️
Wow, Marie, I am so impressed by your understanding of nature and the interaction of animals and people in a country that is not your own. You are so astute. You easily grasped the problem of drivers and their cell phones while we here in the USA seem to ignore the catastrophe it is causing. Your comments are amazing, dear Marie, and I cherish every time I get to see you. 🥰
I'm enjoying the videos and you documenting your experiences, Marie. I think I understand your frustration. I believe people need to keep in mind these were your first experiences of America. The places, food, culture, etc. You have to view these in such a way to appreciate your experiences. In a way living vicariously through your eyes and seeing it all for the first time. It allows me to appreciate a sense of awe and wonder that has worn off through growing used to it. Just as it may be if an American were to document a trip to France and go see some famous sites. If they posted a video exploring the Eiffel Tower and a bunch of Parisians watched and said, "How boring, that's for tourists." They would not be looking at it in an objective way appreciating the wonder. Like a baby or child seeing bubbles being blown for the first time. Enjoy their joy and wonder in the experience. Perhaps I failed to express my meaning clearly, but I cheer you on and say, "Keep going, Marie!"
I'm glad you got a lot off your chest. I am enjoying whatever you are prepared to show us. The reason I like your videos is that it you being you. Don't stop being Marie. Don't let any negativity get you down that's on the person not you. Keep these incredible videos coming.❤
Marie, don't worry about comments. The most important thing is that you enjoy your final vlog, and your passion always comes through in your videos. Keep up the great work you do on sharing your life with all of us.
Take some deep breaths and don't let the negative stuff get you down. You are doing a great job. You just keep being you, because the you that you are is pretty fantastic. I love your channel. Hope you can come visit my beautiful State of Alaska some day.
Marie, I'll start by saying, "You go Girl". Your trip to the States was all about you and your adventures. You keep on sharing your videos anyway you want. Don't let the negative people bother you. You visited our country and you had a great time. As for those comments about tourist traps... I guess that when I visited Paris years ago. I should NOT have visited the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, Arc de Triomphe, and many other "Tourist Traps" in France? I don't think so!!! The reason I visited France was see the Beautiful places in your country. Have fun and stay safe.
Marie, thanks for investigating the USA! Go everywhere that you find interesting! We have such a huge variety of places and people in this country that you will be able to see, hear, smell, taste, and touch brand new stuff for quite some time! Stay chill and enjoy, knowing that there will always be more!
Keep doing what you're doing Marie. And good on you for addressing these concerns. If there's one thing in life we all learn it's that we can't please everyone. Not everyone is going to be happy no matter what. Looking forward to the next video!👍🇫🇷 🇺🇸
Keep exploring!!! Follow your heart and have fun! People will always have their thoughts and ideas, and certainly there will always be misunderstandings and disagreements. I hope you are able to navigate and move pass those comments that are upsetting, without allowing them to slow you down. Sorry that you experience those. Your channel is a fun one to watch and always a fresh source of positive energy. Keep having fun and I for one appreciate all the hard work and effort you put into these videos! :0) 🐺
You are such a sweet and mature young lady that it’s easy for anyone to look past little mistakes or faux pas. It is such a pleasure watching you enjoy yourself in your travels, and your observations are quite correct.
Apple butter on chicken wings is my absolute favorite. Fun fact, two apple varieties were founded in West Virginia, Grimes Golden found in the early 1800s and the Golden Delicious found in 1912.
Just FYI in the state of California they have been building big underpasses or over passes for wild life! I applied them and hope it catches on. Sorry for all the silly comments, it is a big and diverse country, it was fun to see all of your adventures, no matter where! Keep up the good work! I have enjoyed seeing your impressions and experiences! Thank you!👏🏼❤️
💜 I absolutely loved this video! Firstly, I like you telling off your subscribers for not behaving well in the comments! All social media platforms seem to have the same issue of people getting a bit too agitated with each other. It’s really not your fault, but good that you care enough to mention it. Secondly, I’m so glad to hear that you didn’t feel you had to film everything. It’s your precious time and you need to enjoy it. You had a short time in the US so it makes sense to visit some of the more well-known attractions first. When you first announced your trip I assumed you’d be heading straight for NYC, but these are your personal choices and that’s what makes your videos interesting! Lastly, that hotdog was such good value…so hungry watching that! I think travel is the best thing…second best is watching someone else having fun doing it 😊 Take care of yourself Marie
Marie, it's always great to see you key in on dogs. Some people are pet lovers, while others aren't. I'm one of those people who loves dogs and I call them "puppies" regardless of their age because they always seem to act like they are young. I also want to applaud your self-control when it comes to being close to all of those delicious treats and not getting one of everything just to try it out! There were a few things you showed that I wouldn't have been able to pass by, so good for you to be able to do that! The real question here is, did you try any apple butter? The festival is called the Apple Butter festival, so I'm guessing you had to have tried something with it. Did you like it? Your comments at the end of the video were interesting, and I can understand why you felt the need to make the points you made. One of the downsides to the internet in general is that people will say things that they wouldn't say if they were standing face to face. There's a decrease in civility, and that's unfortunate given that this platform could be used for so many more positive things. You didn't talk too much. You had points to make and you took the time to make those points. Personally, I enjoy videos where you do a lot of talking because I enjoy your perspective on things, as I'm sure many others do as well. Keep up the great work Marie! I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us! I hope your car got back to you and that everything's alright with it.
Those who criticize you for visiting tourist traps have surely never visited a foreign culture themselves. It's what one does when time is limited and the breadth of choices is so vast. Please ignore them - it's themselves they are unhappy with, not you! I hope you continue to be a role model to others - you're very good at it!
Thank you and you are correct about everything you said in the video. Keep up the good work and enjoy yourself and don't let others drive your thoughts. I love the videos and respect your feelings very much. Love from the USA!
You are the greatest. Do things your way and don't pay attention to rude people. Thanks for sharing your videos and life with us. Take care and be safe.
Hi there, Marie! Thank you - truly - for everything you're releasing from your trip. It's really cool to see things from your perspective. Tourism has a HUGE positive economic impact on our local budgets and things exist for tourists to see because there's just not enough time to completely digest the dynamic culture of the US in a few weeks. Thank you for the reminders about being civil and kind in comments, and that you're sharing parts of (but not all of) your experiences. All of that is totally appropriate. Mostly, I'm very happy you're having such a nice experience - you've wanted to visit the US for soooo long - I'm glad it was so enjoyable and memorable for you! And again, thank you for sharing your experiences with us - it's great to see America through your eyes/lens. Enjoy your weekend! Looking forward to episode 9! Hugs!! xo
I will admit I did think you meant people were careless bc they hit deer, but I understand you are not used to that, & I would never leave a hateful comment to you! Love from Mississippi 😊♥️
Watching your videos is like a mini vacation and i get to see places i will not have an opportunity to see for myself, so thank you for sharing your experiences and i hope one day you get the chance to explore more of the States. Hope you have a great New Year 🙃
Love watching your adventures, please try not to worry about the negative stuff, life is very short and unpredictable, enjoy every moment of your life experiences.
I'm very familiar with the area of West Virginia that you visited. I don't view Shenandoah, Antietam and Harpers Ferry as tourist traps, just very cool and interesting places. Rather than watching people visit Hollywood (tourist trap), I'd rather watch them visit Cheyenne or Santa Fe or a thousand other great places in the U.S., like West Virginia.
Great video, Marie. Loved seeing the Apple Butter Festival. As usual I love your filming, what you choose to show. It's Spring now but it brought me back to the Fall, those smells and Halloween. It looked fun. Also, when you addressed your audience you made very good points. I especially liked how you said, a) you're not only going to what people call "tourist traps" but that even if you do go to some of these -- AND I DO TOO -- you are doing so knowingly and intentionally and what is important is to have experiences and the freedom to choose what you want to do, not what others may tell you to do. And these things designed around tourists have a good reason for existing -- they draw attention to something in that particular area that is of historical interest so there is a good reason to want to see them. And, as you said, you did lots more to, some of which rightfully you'd like to keep to and for yourself. That's another thing I do too. So yeah, thanks for this video! By the way, you do not talk too much. You had things to say, simply...
Medieval people DID have knifes and spoons, and forks arrived near the end of the Middle Ages in Britain, have spent a couple of hundred years moving north from the Near East. And medieval food was much better (if you had money) than one might expect. My wife recently made a lamb and beet stew from a four-thousand-year old recipe. It was very good! Also, Thanksgiving in the USA was last week, but Thanksgiving in Canada was on Monday October 10. Love from Western Canada!
Love the chance to see you experiencing some of the states. Especially cool to see you at the Apple Butter Festival! My grandparents, and now parents, have a weekend cabin there and grew up going each year:) Thank you for the videos!
I love applebutter and I have made it myself. It's very easy you should try it. Another great video Marie keep up the good work. We enjoy your videos so much.
We made pear butter this year from our pear trees. One Bushel basket (about 35 liters) reduces to about 2.5 liters of product. It's a lot of time consuming work, but you don't have to share with the cows. Another curly W.
This is why diversity is something we should all try an embrace. Marie's perspective on nature, its natural balance, the encroachment of humans, the elimination of the deer's natural predators all contribute to many peoples negative feeling about deer. Most American probably do not make the cause and effect association between what we've done to the deer's natural habitat and their mortality rate due to their interactions with humans. The deer's behavior is instinctual, encoded in their DNA. They 100% of the time just behave like deer. 💚💚💚💚
I agree with you to a point. IF the "natural predators" would only take deer, there would be no problem. But, they also take the farmer's livelihoods. Livestock is easier to kill than a deer. They take sheep, goats, and worst of all the new born. Also domestic dogs and cats, as well as they can be a threat to humans.
@@HemlockRidge So what WE are the invasive species here . Educate the people about the nature around them and teach how to live in harmony with your local wildlife . I live in Kentucky surrounded by wild animals and prepare myself & my property accordingly. Learn . Your view is human hubris .
You weren't joking! That's an amazing collection of "One Piece" anime. I just finished watching the first season of "Blue Exorcist", myself. As always, your videos instill a sense of pride in me. I'm so glad you had a nice time.
Marie!!! I need to go to bed, but now I have a video I can watch the rest of tomorrow. (I watched the first five minutes.) I found myself smiling all the way through what I watched. Food, food, and more food...I'm getting fat just watching. Everything looks so good. Watching your videos is like walking with you in person, your videos are SO MUCH FUN. A lot of it has to do with your engaging personality. By the way, that's the second time you lingered on a shot of a Ford Mustang! You did that a few videos ago. Like those, huh!!! :)
I'm glad you are addressing the negative comments. I hope you are able to delete and/or block those comments that have no place on this channel. Please continue sharing your positive and charming outlook on this channel and in your everyday life.
Marie, you're correct on both counts about deer, and people on phones causing accidents, i live in a rural area and people are very aware of deer movements, and years ago i almost got run off the road by somebody on their phone. i find your videos to very considerate of various cultures.
Marie you be you, you do you. You do a wonderful job, are a very interesting young lady, with great knowledge, and gaining great experience. Be proud of you, you deserve it. I look forward to seeing what's next. Deer are beautiful animals, but can be scary, people need to pay attention when driving, you're absolutely right.
One of your videos popped up in my feed, enjoyed it, watched a couple of more and then subscribed because I enjoyed watching your reactions as you experience things and places for the first time. For my work I have visited 49 out of the 50 states and my wife (from Europe) and I have visited numerous countries and I know exactly the joy and wonder of new experiences. People can bitch and moan, but a lot of times tourist traps can be fun and enjoyable as you know going in to level set expectations. You just keep doing what your doing, live your life and enjoy because you only have one go around and you want experience the full ride of life. As they say in New Orleans (The most French city in the US and one of the most fun with music, food, architecture and all around great time) "laissez les bon temps rouler" !😁
Thank you, Ms. Marie, for another great video. Looking forward to the next and always remember to have fun and be safe. I think your videos are very clear and your meanings and comments are also very clear. You are doing a great job with your videos and the most important is your own memorable experiences that will last a lifetime with you. Thank you for being you and all that you do.
By my definition, I haven’t seen you get stuck in a tourist trap yet. If you do get stuck in a trap you just write it off as a lesson learned. Local festivals, street fairs, races, etc are places for people to meet and have a good time, maybe earn some money, buy things that later you’ll wonder why, and try good or bad local foods.
Marie, please do not not feel that you have to explain anything. You are our guest ! And we want you to have the very best experience in the USA that you could imagine. We hope you will return soon and visit the Deep South, especially rural Louisiana ... where the first language remains "Cajun French' in many areas. Don't worry about trolls ... as I'm sure you know, they are here as long as there is an "internet".
Marie, you are such a breath of fresh air. You have nothing to apologize for or worry about. Your trip here to the US was your trip for your reasons and you can and should share only what you want. Unless someone had contracted with you to come here and document this or that (which didn't happen) such an expectation is ill-founded. Keep up the good work. You look good in the US, come back soon!
This is a big country with all kinds of climate zones, cultures and sites to see so I hope you come back. I come from the Midwest. I live in Iowa, grew up in Kansas.
Your English is fantastic Marie. (Or should I say "FrenchTastic!" ) So very glad you got to visit the USA, Hope you will bless us with your presence again in the USA soon. I would love to visit your country of France some day, especially Disneyland Paris.
Hello Marie, great video and thank you for sharing with us. Your English is excellent, I wish I was able to speak a second language. This was your trip, long as you were happy with what you saw and experienced that’s all that matters. What I’ve seen so far from your trip has been excellent 🙂. I know it’s difficult, but don’t worry about what other people think. They will either like you and your content or they won’t. Stay true to yourself and don’t change who you are. Happy belated Thanksgiving to you are your family as well. Thank you again for sharing your trip with us.
A delightful video of your festival visit. I am really enjoying your travels, and looking forward to more! Oh, Happy Thanksgiving to you (belated), and appreciate your wishes to all of us.
Bonjour Marie! Have you been able to set up a new PO Box? Are you going to do so any time soon? I know there are a bunch of things I'd love to send you that I think you'd enjoy (even though you were just here in the States, lol,) and I bet others would like to as well, so if you get one, please let us know! J'espère que vous allez bien! ~Be Blessed
I really enjoy your videos. It is good to see your reactions to the American culture with your firsthand experiences. We are a very diverse nation with influences from nearly every European country and Asian countries and even African countries. I grew up in a small village with a lot of immigrants from Eastern and Southern Europe. I heard many languages spoken but never learned much about them, I am sad to say that. I am hoping that on one of your future trips you will visit New Orleans and travel up the Mississippi river to St Louis and even to my birth town of Hannibal, Missouri. We do have "tourist traps" but it is all in fun.
Marie, I enjoyed your video. There are more deer now in America then when the first Europeans came here. Back then our country was mostly forested but since then the forests have been cleared which opens up more sunlight and foraging for the deer. Our part of north Florida is over run with deer. Your videos are fun to watch.
The forests have not been "cleared." The level of forest has increased for the past 150 years and now is nearly back to the same level it was in 1607. The biggest reason for the overpopulation of deer is the disappearance of the mountain lions in the east.
People complaining about Tourist Traps have never traveled. They are traps because the infrastructure is setup for tourism. You are a tourist. Its the entire point. Also, you are doing all sorts of different things. Dont worry about it!
Your such a nice person and I enjoy you showing a different part of America other then the big cities. Yea it kinda hard not to take bad comments about America not personal cause there is alot of hate that come our way even other Americans.
Hello Marie!!! I wish I could have gone to that Apple Butter Festival too -- I have loved apple butter all my life! There were so many people, tents, foods, figurines, crafts, animals, and fun! I never heard of Butterfly Potatoes for instance 🤣- sounds like they can fly away 😂! I love the "Give Purrs a Chance," and the surrounding countryside is so beautiful. I knew you would spot some dogs, right away in the video too - so cute. It was interesting to see they have a container with documents from 1963 to be opened in 2063 for peole to read! Those wreaths were lovely and the Old Country Inn was perfect too. And, YOU DID IT, you found some very cool Mustangs in this one. I know one of your comments below says they are everywhere, but where I live here in Austin, that is simply NOT the case. I loved the yello BOSS! And the variety of apples was mind-boggling (Honey Crisp sounds wonderful!). There was so much going on everything caught my eye, as though I was there taking it all in. "Almost Heaven Taters" lol, like the song "almost heaven, West Virginia!" And wow, all that tasty looking grilled food and Italian & Polish Sausages too. The tons of food and drink choices were dizzying! What was that kitchen machine operated with one hand and something coming out the other end into a bag??? I did not quite make that out, but it was cool! They even had Nachos! And I adore Candy and Caramel Apples (people would give them to me trick or teating on Halloween). The candies, pumpkin rolls, Nathan's Hot Dogs, the "FAT ELVIS" ice cream flavor, chocolates with sprinkles - my oh my, it was endless variety 🤗💛!!! Wow did your delicious hot dog look good to me, and Fritos have been my favorite chips my whole life. I could not believe that dressed up dog wearing jeans, like a farmer 😂🤣😂! I did not know about Great Pyrenees, but as usual, that dog loved you so much ☺🧡! You were even discussing your own videos at the festival. So you were in Morgan County, from the Sheriff's cars, with motor cyclists there too (of course - there was a festival to enjoy lol!). What a huge cute VERY BIG PUPPY! I have seen some figurines here like those little elves. I even saw among those cupcakes a Happy Birthday cupcake, so I decided that was mine on my birthday today 😍! You found the candy we love, like Reeses, KitKats, Butterfingers, Nestle's Crunch, and I had not seen a Caramelto before. Marie, I got hungry watching the barbeque brisket you had, with the potato salad, the BBQ potato chips I love, and the mac and cheese dinner you enjoyed 😋💓. "Getting a little too used to the American food" 🤗. I really appreciated your kind gratitude to your Patreons you showed - so sweet ❣ I cannot tell you how excited I am that you are going to do a live chat - wow - that is dreamy!! I very much agree with all your assessments of the comments needing discussion. NO fighting is ever needed, but ignoring things you don't like is right (you said it!). The Medieval Times, because of that subject matter, is always hard to understand evwerything. We have festivals down here where people dress up and act out medieval towns, like long, long ago! You could not be MORE right about people actually using cell phone WHILE DRIVING - unbelievable, and I pass them every single day!!!!! And, people hate getting behind me, because I am a person who obeys speed limits, and there exist very few of my type anymore! SAD 😢- I was happy to hear your warning coming from a person living in another country. And yes, I have put up with the derogatory comments about deer for way too long, even from neighbors! But lots of us LOVE the deer, and a family of deers sleeps just behind my house in the woods, and sometimes come up and sleep in my front yard 💓🥰, they are doing the best they can with less and less wooded space for them. Lauren feeds them from her hand. People drive insanely around here, and honestly, if they did NOT speed or did NOT TALK ON THEIR PHONES, there would be way fewer accidents on the roads between cars, or cars and animals of all kinds. I love that you abandoned the camera to allow yourself time to enjoy Marie in the USA!! Marie, this was wonderful - I loved it all 🥰😊🙏 - love from Texas❣❣
Howdy, Marie. I agree with you. No fighting, arguing, bickering, politics, etc. Don't let negative comments get to you Marie. No matter what you do, some are always going to complain. Those of us who truly appreciate you and what you are doing just want you to visit where you want and say what you want and want you to have a good time over here and come back more. I'm a conservative Catholic, Trump voter, hunter, fisherman, tracker, outfitter, packer/pack master, gun owner and I love and appreciate France and my French fiancé, but I dont expect everyone else here to be or think or have the same opinions as I. If it wasn't for France and Free Masons, there wouldn't be a USA. If any of you want to fight, argue, bicker, say bad words to one another, I suggest you go into politics, please don't do it here. Love the video as always Marie. God bless you Marie and your family and I pray for you all out there. May the peace and love of God be with you all. Love and God bless.
I hope you tasted apple butter at least once. Hopefully the arguing in the comments, doesn't spoil your experience in the States. I love your different way of viewing the world. It's the whole reason to watch! Well, that and your sweet personality and pretty face. I'm sure your parents are very proud.
Marie, your videos are so considerate and so well-made. I can't understand how anyone could criticize them. Don't listen to these critics; you are doing fine. I so appreciate you taking the time to visit America and show, in your videos, so many beautiful and positive things about the USA that even Americans might not be aware of. Thank you for doing what you do on UA-cam; your hard work is much appreciated!
I can't speak for anyone else but editing a lot of your festival visit was no big deal. As far as I'm concerned you need time to actually enjoy things without having to film everything. However, saying that, I really enjoyed how much you filmed when you went to the space museum! For me, so far ,the best part of your trip here to the US. You are an incredible person and allowing us to view so much of your life is very much appreciated. Okay, enough rambling on and on from me. I leave you with this, "Hugs From Idaho!"
FrenchTastic obviously needs a Mustang!
One of the things I like about your videos is that you are respectful of the people that are around you.
Oh my Dear, mature beyond her years, Marie. You are doing fine. One person's tourist trap is another's paradise. You have my support as a Patreon because I love your channel. Happy Holidays to you and your fans
YOUR VIDEOS AND COMMENTS ARE FANTASTIC MARIE.. DONT WORRY ABOUT WHAT OTHERS SAY.. HAVING A GOOD TIME IS ALL THAT COUNTS.. TAKE CARE
Thanks for another fun video.
Keep smiling and don’t worry about people being silly in the comments. Mostly, people seem nicer on UA-cam than on other social media sites. Your hard work on the videos is really appreciated. I enjoyed this 8th chapter of your American trip and look forward to the next one. 👍
Your accent and broken English is as beautiful as you are, and you are interesting to listen to. You are doing amazing with our English language, and I love watching the world through your eyes and seeing the things that are fascinating to you! Great job with your Vlogs showing us these "Snapshots of your life" (an expression to describe what you were talking about with you showing some of the things you see and do while keeping the rest of it to yourself to enjoy and remember!)
Marie, I am SO glad that you are getting to see some of the REAL US, some of the small towns and "salt of the earth" people. The "french" knight? The Fleur-de-lis gave it away.
Bonjour Marie! I'm a little surprised that people said you're only going to "tourist traps" when I've mentioned many times in the comments on your videos how glad I was to see that you were not just going to "tourist traps" and were driving through suburbs and populated areas and seeing regular people, houses, places, and so on.

Marie, thank you for the enthusiasm you demonstrate for our country. It's a pleasure seeing you experience new things and how much you enjoy most of our culture and customs. I watch your videos and I want to say that the reason we watch you is to hear about your experiences and your reactions so don't apologize for talking so much. We don't always agree (re: deer and careless drivers) but Americans usually have issue when foreigners tell us what things they see wrong with our country.
Reactions differntiating customs between our cultures are what we expext to hear, I least I am interested in those things. Not that you do this, but others like to tell us how old fashioned we are and how much better it is in their country.
You are very different than a lot of others because you have visited the touristy places in the US. but you are one of the few if not the only one who visits those flyover places no one else goes to.
Keep doing what you do !! ☺️
Wow, Marie, I am so impressed by your understanding of nature and the interaction of animals and people in a country that is not your own. You are so astute. You easily grasped the problem of drivers and their cell phones while we here in the USA seem to ignore the catastrophe it is causing. Your comments are amazing, dear Marie, and I cherish every time I get to see you. 🥰
I'm enjoying the videos and you documenting your experiences, Marie.
I think I understand your frustration. I believe people need to keep in mind these were your first experiences of America. The places, food, culture, etc. You have to view these in such a way to appreciate your experiences. In a way living vicariously through your eyes and seeing it all for the first time. It allows me to appreciate a sense of awe and wonder that has worn off through growing used to it.
Just as it may be if an American were to document a trip to France and go see some famous sites. If they posted a video exploring the Eiffel Tower and a bunch of Parisians watched and said, "How boring, that's for tourists." They would not be looking at it in an objective way appreciating the wonder. Like a baby or child seeing bubbles being blown for the first time. Enjoy their joy and wonder in the experience.
Perhaps I failed to express my meaning clearly, but I cheer you on and say, "Keep going, Marie!"
🥺🥺🙏
I'm glad you got a lot off your chest. I am enjoying whatever you are prepared to show us. The reason I like your videos is that it you being you. Don't stop being Marie. Don't let any negativity get you down that's on the person not you. Keep these incredible videos coming.❤
Marie, don't worry about comments. The most important thing is that you enjoy your final vlog, and your passion always comes through in your videos. Keep up the great work you do on sharing your life with all of us.
Take some deep breaths and don't let the negative stuff get you down. You are doing a great job. You just keep being you, because the you that you are is pretty fantastic. I love your channel. Hope you can come visit my beautiful State of Alaska some day.
Love the video as always Marie! Ignore the negative comments, they are a vocal tiny minority. We all love watching you!
Love the videos of your time in the US. Keep them coming. Have a great day and keep smiling. 😀
Marie, I'll start by saying, "You go Girl". Your trip to the States was all about you and your adventures. You keep on sharing your videos anyway you want. Don't let the negative people bother you. You visited our country and you had a great time. As for those comments about tourist traps... I guess that when I visited Paris years ago. I should NOT have visited the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, Arc de Triomphe, and many other "Tourist Traps" in France? I don't think so!!! The reason I visited France was see the Beautiful places in your country. Have fun and stay safe.
Marie, thanks for investigating the USA! Go everywhere that you find interesting! We have such a huge variety of places and people in this country that you will be able to see, hear, smell, taste, and touch brand new stuff for quite some time! Stay chill and enjoy, knowing that there will always be more!
Lived in U.S. for 60 years and haven't been to any of the amazing places you have visited. I've missed out. Your videos are wonderful. Keep doing you!
Keep doing what you're doing Marie. And good on you for addressing these concerns. If there's one thing in life we all learn it's that we can't please everyone. Not everyone is going to be happy no matter what. Looking forward to the next video!👍🇫🇷 🇺🇸
I have enjoyed all your videos from your trip to the US. You're having fun and learning about another culture. Keep up the good work.
Keep exploring!!! Follow your heart and have fun! People will always have their thoughts and ideas, and certainly there will always be misunderstandings and disagreements. I hope you are able to navigate and move pass those comments that are upsetting, without allowing them to slow you down. Sorry that you experience those. Your channel is a fun one to watch and always a fresh source of positive energy. Keep having fun and I for one appreciate all the hard work and effort you put into these videos! :0) 🐺
Marie, thanks for sharing with us your experiences. I’m glad you made it to the States.
You are such a sweet and mature young lady that it’s easy for anyone to look past little mistakes or faux pas. It is such a pleasure watching you enjoy yourself in your travels, and your observations are quite correct.
Apple butter on chicken wings is my absolute favorite. Fun fact, two apple varieties were founded in West Virginia, Grimes Golden found in the early 1800s and the Golden Delicious found in 1912.
Great video, thanks for letting us tag along.
I enjoy your video ,the mustangs and everything you make us discover...Thank you.
Just FYI in the state of California they have been building big underpasses or over passes for wild life! I applied them and hope it catches on. Sorry for all the silly comments, it is a big and diverse country, it was fun to see all of your adventures, no matter where! Keep up the good work! I have enjoyed seeing your impressions and experiences! Thank you!👏🏼❤️
💜 I absolutely loved this video! Firstly, I like you telling off your subscribers for not behaving well in the comments! All social media platforms seem to have the same issue of people getting a bit too agitated with each other. It’s really not your fault, but good that you care enough to mention it. Secondly, I’m so glad to hear that you didn’t feel you had to film everything. It’s your precious time and you need to enjoy it. You had a short time in the US so it makes sense to visit some of the more well-known attractions first. When you first announced your trip I assumed you’d be heading straight for NYC, but these are your personal choices and that’s what makes your videos interesting! Lastly, that hotdog was such good value…so hungry watching that! I think travel is the best thing…second best is watching someone else having fun doing it 😊 Take care of yourself Marie
Marie, it's always great to see you key in on dogs. Some people are pet lovers, while others aren't. I'm one of those people who loves dogs and I call them "puppies" regardless of their age because they always seem to act like they are young.
I also want to applaud your self-control when it comes to being close to all of those delicious treats and not getting one of everything just to try it out! There were a few things you showed that I wouldn't have been able to pass by, so good for you to be able to do that! The real question here is, did you try any apple butter? The festival is called the Apple Butter festival, so I'm guessing you had to have tried something with it. Did you like it?
Your comments at the end of the video were interesting, and I can understand why you felt the need to make the points you made. One of the downsides to the internet in general is that people will say things that they wouldn't say if they were standing face to face. There's a decrease in civility, and that's unfortunate given that this platform could be used for so many more positive things. You didn't talk too much. You had points to make and you took the time to make those points. Personally, I enjoy videos where you do a lot of talking because I enjoy your perspective on things, as I'm sure many others do as well.
Keep up the great work Marie! I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us! I hope your car got back to you and that everything's alright with it.
Very well said Brian Green. I agree with you 100%. From Brian Hunt, Bristol CT USA
Those who criticize you for visiting tourist traps have surely never visited a foreign culture themselves. It's what one does when time is limited and the breadth of choices is so vast. Please ignore them - it's themselves they are unhappy with, not you! I hope you continue to be a role model to others - you're very good at it!
Thank you and you are correct about everything you said in the video. Keep up the good work and enjoy yourself and don't let others drive your thoughts. I love the videos and respect your feelings very much. Love from the USA!
The footage doesn't do it justice -- that's exactly the phrase you're probably looking for to describe Medieval Times!!!
Wonderful video and comments. Thank you
You are the greatest. Do things your way and don't pay attention to rude people. Thanks for sharing your videos and life with us. Take care and be safe.
Hi there, Marie! Thank you - truly - for everything you're releasing from your trip. It's really cool to see things from your perspective. Tourism has a HUGE positive economic impact on our local budgets and things exist for tourists to see because there's just not enough time to completely digest the dynamic culture of the US in a few weeks. Thank you for the reminders about being civil and kind in comments, and that you're sharing parts of (but not all of) your experiences. All of that is totally appropriate. Mostly, I'm very happy you're having such a nice experience - you've wanted to visit the US for soooo long - I'm glad it was so enjoyable and memorable for you! And again, thank you for sharing your experiences with us - it's great to see America through your eyes/lens. Enjoy your weekend! Looking forward to episode 9! Hugs!! xo
Thanks for visiting my state,I feel honored!❤ ❤
I will admit I did think you meant people were careless bc they hit deer, but I understand you are not used to that, & I would never leave a hateful comment to you! Love from Mississippi 😊♥️
Watching your videos is like a mini vacation and i get to see places i will not have an opportunity to see for myself, so thank you for sharing your experiences and i hope one day you get the chance to explore more of the States. Hope you have a great New Year 🙃
Love watching your adventures, please try not to worry about the negative stuff, life is very short and unpredictable, enjoy every moment of your life experiences.
I'm very familiar with the area of West Virginia that you visited. I don't view Shenandoah, Antietam and Harpers Ferry as tourist traps, just very cool and interesting places. Rather than watching people visit Hollywood (tourist trap), I'd rather watch them visit Cheyenne or Santa Fe or a thousand other great places in the U.S., like West Virginia.
Great video, Marie. Loved seeing the Apple Butter Festival. As usual I love your filming, what you choose to show. It's Spring now but it brought me back to the Fall, those smells and Halloween. It looked fun. Also, when you addressed your audience you made very good points. I especially liked how you said, a) you're not only going to what people call "tourist traps" but that even if you do go to some of these -- AND I DO TOO -- you are doing so knowingly and intentionally and what is important is to have experiences and the freedom to choose what you want to do, not what others may tell you to do. And these things designed around tourists have a good reason for existing -- they draw attention to something in that particular area that is of historical interest so there is a good reason to want to see them. And, as you said, you did lots more to, some of which rightfully you'd like to keep to and for yourself. That's another thing I do too. So yeah, thanks for this video! By the way, you do not talk too much. You had things to say, simply...
Love, LOVE the accompanying jazz music!!! Perfect for this laid back video!
Medieval people DID have knifes and spoons, and forks arrived near the end of the Middle Ages in Britain, have spent a couple of hundred years moving north from the Near East. And medieval food was much better (if you had money) than one might expect. My wife recently made a lamb and beet stew from a four-thousand-year old recipe. It was very good!
Also, Thanksgiving in the USA was last week, but Thanksgiving in Canada was on Monday October 10.
Love from Western Canada!
Love the chance to see you experiencing some of the states. Especially cool to see you at the Apple Butter Festival! My grandparents, and now parents, have a weekend cabin there and grew up going each year:) Thank you for the videos!
I love applebutter and I have made it myself. It's very easy you should try it. Another great video Marie keep up the good work. We enjoy your videos so much.
We made pear butter this year from our pear trees. One Bushel basket (about 35 liters) reduces to about 2.5 liters of product. It's a lot of time consuming work, but you don't have to share with the cows. Another curly W.
Thank you for showing how beautiful France is 🇫🇷. You inspired me to take a trip to the Côte d’Azur this summer.
I think your videos are really really great. Just ignore the negative or silly comments, and do what YOU want to see/experience!
This is why diversity is something we should all try an embrace. Marie's perspective on nature, its natural balance, the encroachment of humans, the elimination of the deer's natural predators all contribute to many peoples negative feeling about deer. Most American probably do not make the cause and effect association between what we've done to the deer's natural habitat and their mortality rate due to their interactions with humans. The deer's behavior is instinctual, encoded in their DNA. They 100% of the time just behave like deer. 💚💚💚💚
I agree with you to a point. IF the "natural predators" would only take deer, there would be no problem. But, they also take the farmer's livelihoods. Livestock is easier to kill than a deer. They take sheep, goats, and worst of all the new born. Also domestic dogs and cats, as well as they can be a threat to humans.
@@HemlockRidge So what WE are the invasive species here . Educate the people about the nature around them and teach how to live in harmony with your local wildlife . I live in Kentucky surrounded by wild animals and prepare myself & my property accordingly. Learn . Your view is human hubris .
@@warrenelkins1861 lmao.
These videos were great. You were in my neck of the woods, hope you truly enjoyed your stay!
You weren't joking! That's an amazing collection of "One Piece" anime. I just finished watching the first season of "Blue Exorcist", myself.
As always, your videos instill a sense of pride in me. I'm so glad you had a nice time.
Merry ThanksGiving, Marie...
Marie!!! I need to go to bed, but now I have a video I can watch the rest of tomorrow. (I watched the first five minutes.) I found myself smiling all the way through what I watched. Food, food, and more food...I'm getting fat just watching. Everything looks so good. Watching your videos is like walking with you in person, your videos are SO MUCH FUN. A lot of it has to do with your engaging personality.
By the way, that's the second time you lingered on a shot of a Ford Mustang! You did that a few videos ago. Like those, huh!!! :)
I'm glad you are addressing the negative comments. I hope you are able to delete and/or block those comments that have no place on this channel. Please continue sharing your positive and charming outlook on this channel and in your everyday life.
Always good to see (and hear) you Marie! ♥️
Hello Miss Marie !!! Happy Holidays My Friend 🌲🌲🌲🌲
Like button has been Illuminated !!!😁🌞
Happy Thanksgiving!
Marie,
you're correct on both counts about deer, and people on phones causing accidents, i live in a rural area and people are very aware of deer movements, and years ago i almost got run off the road by somebody on their phone. i find your videos to very considerate of various cultures.
Oh, no, Marie, you do not speak 'broken English'! You speak English extremely well!
Marie, you are a closet American with a French accent. You speak English very well. Thanks for speaking American English.
Marie you be you, you do you. You do a wonderful job, are a very interesting young lady, with great knowledge, and gaining great experience. Be proud of you, you deserve it. I look forward to seeing what's next. Deer are beautiful animals, but can be scary, people need to pay attention when driving, you're absolutely right.
One of your videos popped up in my feed, enjoyed it, watched a couple of more and then subscribed because I enjoyed watching your reactions as you experience things and places for the first time. For my work I have visited 49 out of the 50 states and my wife (from Europe) and I have visited numerous countries and I know exactly the joy and wonder of new experiences. People can bitch and moan, but a lot of times tourist traps can be fun and enjoyable as you know going in to level set expectations. You just keep doing what your doing, live your life and enjoy because you only have one go around and you want experience the full ride of life. As they say in New Orleans (The most French city in the US and one of the most fun with music, food, architecture and all around great time) "laissez les bon temps rouler" !😁
Just wanted to say again your videos are great! Hope your having a great time! Wishing you the best!
Don't worry about going to tourist traps as long as you enjoy it. Sometimes they are the most quirky and fun.
Thank you, Ms. Marie, for another great video. Looking forward to the next and always remember to have fun and be safe. I think your videos are very clear and your meanings and comments are also very clear. You are doing a great job with your videos and the most important is your own memorable experiences that will last a lifetime with you. Thank you for being you and all that you do.
I love apple butter, but I didn't know there was a festival. Peace, Love!!
Your videos and comments are excellent. Happy travels.
By my definition, I haven’t seen you get stuck in a tourist trap yet. If you do get stuck in a trap you just write it off as a lesson learned.
Local festivals, street fairs, races, etc are places for people to meet and have a good time, maybe earn some money, buy things that later you’ll wonder why, and try good or bad local foods.
Marie, please do not not feel that you have to explain anything.
You are our guest !
And we want you to have the very best experience in the USA that you could imagine.
We hope you will return soon and visit the Deep South, especially rural Louisiana ... where
the first language remains "Cajun French' in many areas.
Don't worry about trolls ... as I'm sure you know, they are here as long as there is an "internet".
Marie, you are such a breath of fresh air. You have nothing to apologize for or worry about. Your trip here to the US was your trip for your reasons and you can and should share only what you want. Unless someone had contracted with you to come here and document this or that (which didn't happen) such an expectation is ill-founded. Keep up the good work. You look good in the US, come back soon!
This is a big country with all kinds of climate zones, cultures and sites to see so I hope you come back. I come from the Midwest. I live in Iowa, grew up in Kansas.
Your English is fantastic Marie. (Or should I say "FrenchTastic!" ) So very glad you got to visit the USA, Hope you will bless us with your presence again in the USA soon. I would love to visit your country of France some day, especially Disneyland Paris.
Hello Marie, great video and thank you for sharing with us. Your English is excellent, I wish I was able to speak a second language. This was your trip, long as you were happy with what you saw and experienced that’s all that matters. What I’ve seen so far from your trip has been excellent 🙂. I know it’s difficult, but don’t worry about what other people think. They will either like you and your content or they won’t. Stay true to yourself and don’t change who you are. Happy belated Thanksgiving to you are your family as well. Thank you again for sharing your trip with us.
A delightful video of your festival visit. I am really enjoying your travels, and looking forward to more! Oh, Happy Thanksgiving to you (belated), and appreciate your wishes to all of us.
THANKS MARIE😎
Happy Thanksgiving to you too.
Bonjour Marie! Have you been able to set up a new PO Box? Are you going to do so any time soon? I know there are a bunch of things I'd love to send you that I think you'd enjoy (even though you were just here in the States, lol,) and I bet others would like to as well, so if you get one, please let us know! J'espère que vous allez bien! ~Be Blessed
No, still no po box ☹️
I completely agree with you 😊
I just recently started following your adventures. Très bien. I am enjoyIng them a lot. Ignore the naysayers. It’s fun seeing you chowing down !!
I’m impressed by the One Piece Manga collection!
😏😏
Mamma Mia indeed. Looks delicious.
I really enjoy your videos. It is good to see your reactions to the American culture with your firsthand experiences. We are a very diverse nation with influences from nearly every European country and Asian countries and even African countries. I grew up in a small village with a lot of immigrants from Eastern and Southern Europe. I heard many languages spoken but never learned much about them, I am sad to say that. I am hoping that on one of your future trips you will visit New Orleans and travel up the Mississippi river to St Louis and even to my birth town of Hannibal, Missouri. We do have "tourist traps" but it is all in fun.
Great job, Marie
Well said.
Marie, I enjoyed your video. There are more deer now in America then when the first Europeans came here. Back then our country was mostly forested but since then the forests have been cleared which opens up more sunlight and foraging for the deer. Our part of north Florida is over run with deer. Your videos are fun to watch.
The forests have not been "cleared." The level of forest has increased for the past 150 years and now is nearly back to the same level it was in 1607. The biggest reason for the overpopulation of deer is the disappearance of the mountain lions in the east.
Not aware of deer hinting? A popular pastime. Hunters eat the meat too.
People complaining about Tourist Traps have never traveled. They are traps because the infrastructure is setup for tourism. You are a tourist. Its the entire point. Also, you are doing all sorts of different things. Dont worry about it!
Your love of Mustangs is so cute ;)
Your such a nice person and I enjoy you showing a different part of America other then the big cities. Yea it kinda hard not to take bad comments about America not personal cause there is alot of hate that come our way even other Americans.
Nice place you visited. Glad you enjoyed yourself and got more "taste" of USA. You don't talk too much.
Hello Marie!!! I wish I could have gone to that Apple Butter Festival too -- I have loved apple butter all my life! There were so many people, tents, foods, figurines, crafts, animals, and fun! I never heard of Butterfly Potatoes for instance 🤣- sounds like they can fly away 😂! I love the "Give Purrs a Chance," and the surrounding countryside is so beautiful. I knew you would spot some dogs, right away in the video too - so cute. It was interesting to see they have a container with documents from 1963 to be opened in 2063 for peole to read! Those wreaths were lovely and the Old Country Inn was perfect too. And, YOU DID IT, you found some very cool Mustangs in this one. I know one of your comments below says they are everywhere, but where I live here in Austin, that is simply NOT the case. I loved the yello BOSS! And the variety of apples was mind-boggling (Honey Crisp sounds wonderful!). There was so much going on everything caught my eye, as though I was there taking it all in. "Almost Heaven Taters" lol, like the song "almost heaven, West Virginia!" And wow, all that tasty looking grilled food and Italian & Polish Sausages too. The tons of food and drink choices were dizzying! What was that kitchen machine operated with one hand and something coming out the other end into a bag??? I did not quite make that out, but it was cool! They even had Nachos! And I adore Candy and Caramel Apples (people would give them to me trick or teating on Halloween). The candies, pumpkin rolls, Nathan's Hot Dogs, the "FAT ELVIS" ice cream flavor, chocolates with sprinkles - my oh my, it was endless variety 🤗💛!!! Wow did your delicious hot dog look good to me, and Fritos have been my favorite chips my whole life. I could not believe that dressed up dog wearing jeans, like a farmer 😂🤣😂! I did not know about Great Pyrenees, but as usual, that dog loved you so much ☺🧡! You were even discussing your own videos at the festival. So you were in Morgan County, from the Sheriff's cars, with motor cyclists there too (of course - there was a festival to enjoy lol!). What a huge cute VERY BIG PUPPY! I have seen some figurines here like those little elves. I even saw among those cupcakes a Happy Birthday cupcake, so I decided that was mine on my birthday today 😍! You found the candy we love, like Reeses, KitKats, Butterfingers, Nestle's Crunch, and I had not seen a Caramelto before. Marie, I got hungry watching the barbeque brisket you had, with the potato salad, the BBQ potato chips I love, and the mac and cheese dinner you enjoyed 😋💓. "Getting a little too used to the American food" 🤗. I really appreciated your kind gratitude to your Patreons you showed - so sweet ❣ I cannot tell you how excited I am that you are going to do a live chat - wow - that is dreamy!! I very much agree with all your assessments of the comments needing discussion. NO fighting is ever needed, but ignoring things you don't like is right (you said it!). The Medieval Times, because of that subject matter, is always hard to understand evwerything. We have festivals down here where people dress up and act out medieval towns, like long, long ago! You could not be MORE right about people actually using cell phone WHILE DRIVING - unbelievable, and I pass them every single day!!!!! And, people hate getting behind me, because I am a person who obeys speed limits, and there exist very few of my type anymore! SAD 😢- I was happy to hear your warning coming from a person living in another country. And yes, I have put up with the derogatory comments about deer for way too long, even from neighbors! But lots of us LOVE the deer, and a family of deers sleeps just behind my house in the woods, and sometimes come up and sleep in my front yard 💓🥰, they are doing the best they can with less and less wooded space for them. Lauren feeds them from her hand. People drive insanely around here, and honestly, if they did NOT speed or did NOT TALK ON THEIR PHONES, there would be way fewer accidents on the roads between cars, or cars and animals of all kinds. I love that you abandoned the camera to allow yourself time to enjoy Marie in the USA!! Marie, this was wonderful - I loved it all 🥰😊🙏 - love from Texas❣❣
Howdy, Marie.
I agree with you. No fighting, arguing, bickering, politics, etc.
Don't let negative comments get to you Marie. No matter what you do, some are always going to complain. Those of us who truly appreciate you and what you are doing just want you to visit where you want and say what you want and want you to have a good time over here and come back more.
I'm a conservative Catholic, Trump voter, hunter, fisherman, tracker, outfitter, packer/pack master, gun owner and I love and appreciate France and my French fiancé, but I dont expect everyone else here to be or think or have the same opinions as I. If it wasn't for France and Free Masons, there wouldn't be a USA.
If any of you want to fight, argue, bicker, say bad words to one another, I suggest you go into politics, please don't do it here.
Love the video as always Marie.
God bless you Marie and your family and I pray for you all out there. May the peace and love of God be with you all.
Love and God bless.
I hope you tasted apple butter at least once. Hopefully the arguing in the comments, doesn't spoil your experience in the States. I love your different way of viewing the world. It's the whole reason to watch! Well, that and your sweet personality and pretty face. I'm sure your parents are very proud.
Don't worry about the dumb comments. I really enjoy watching you enjoy America. Love from Missouri. Vive La France 🇫🇷, et Les Etats Unis d'Amerique 🇺🇲
Going to watch later but I wanted to like now
"The footage doesn't do her justice" is the phrase I believe you're looking for when referring to the female horse showcase rider. :D
