ASMR - A Night on the Orient Express and History of Railroads

Soft spoken ASMR about the mythical Orient Express service and the history of railways. Discover where the Orient Express came from: the story takes us to the early development of trains in Great-Britain, the railroad mania of the 19th Century, the conquest of the Far West, the invention of luxury sleeping cars in the US by George Pullman, and the creation of the Compagnie des Wagons-Lits. For almost a century, the Orient Express was a link between two corners or Europe and connected capitals from the Belle Epoque to the 1970's, adapting to wars, the redrawing of frontiers, political changes, and technical revolutions. Relive this epic that inspired artists, adventurers and writers like Agatha Christie, and let yourself be lulled to sleep by the soft sound of the train.

The French Whisperer ASîMR kooklqolllll
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.
You still around man?
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.
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!
Totally...
.
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.
thank you!
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👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
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!
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
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!
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.
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
A gentle, soothing voice is what we need in this loud and overbearing world 💕
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.
What is it about it that you find fascinating?, just asking.
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
the only other channel that comes close is Let's Find Out ASMR - but TFW is still better and more prolific
Hands down my favorite channel on UA-cam
"Hello everyone"😳
My eyes roll back and I'm uncounsious.
🙏🙏🙏❤👍🏻🤣
Thank you for these wonderful ASMR videos of yours, they are of excelent quality and the topics are always interesting and exciting 😀
Your voice and that rhythmic rocking of the Orient Express ~ soooo soothing,! 🌸
Voice of absolute velvet.
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!
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
what do french people smoke?
oui’d
What do miis smoke?
Wii'd
yes
danke
Perfect timing! Many thanks; the second hour of train sounds is genius. Goodnight . . . . .
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.
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.
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
I used to live in Stockton. I now live 3 miles from George Stephensons cottage, train history
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!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Was just wondering, perhaps and idea for the next video?
A history of the musketeers? Thought it would be pretty interesting
Great video as ever, so glad your back doing content
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.
Why am i addicted to this? Pure floating bliss.
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!
I have always had to have background noise while I sleep usually random podcasts but my God this dude has a talent
This is NEXT LEVEL perfect asmr paired with calming informative information PAIRED with visually pleasing aesthetics. I meannnnn, PERFECTION…. Is that youuuu?????
The Orient Express... one of my dreams... thank you so much 🌹🚂
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 :)
I love the atmosphere in this video. Simply phenomenal.
I am so excited to be able to listen to you 2night.
Gracias! Me fascina su canal.
Two hours. The stuff of dreams
Ohhhh is always a delight to find a new video from you! Thanks!
Thank you so much for making this video, I am sick in bed and this video has helped my nerves calm down immensely
I got tingles before this even started playing, that is how good these videos are.
Omg you are so the best best BEST ASMR on UA-cam ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The detail you put into this video is unbelievable & your voice gives me such tingles omgg
Tingles right from the beginning 😴
Love this!! Thank you!
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.
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!
Three words. I. LOVE. TRAINS.
The old school dining car table setting ... delicious 🤤
Amazing how you can think of this stuff. It is definitely appreciated
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!
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.
The electric train has a story of it's own, you say?...
Fun fact: the first electric train was built by Siemens. And it was a miniature.
@@yellowstonethepony7769 that is a fun fact. Thanks very much
@@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.
This is perfection throughout, from the story to the silverware you chose.
I love your work. Truly gifted. Thank you
Your hand gestures ties everything together
I’m saving this as my bedtime story! Thanks for the great work you do!
You sir, are a true artist!
Wow this is awesome! Thank you so much!
When you're in love with disembodied hands/voice/brain
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
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.
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
You get more wonderfully creative and interesting all the time. Thank you.
Wow, this is just amazing. Bravo!
as usual, this listener is spellbound. Bravo.
One of my new favorites! Both intresting and very relaxing! Insanely great as always!
Watching this while I'm on my first sleeper train
An innumerable thanks for all that you do.
Everything here is perfection.
You're accent and your deep voice makes all of your vids perfect!
Merci for another wonderful video, FW! Love the train sounds/white noise at the end--so soothing. I will sleep like a baby.
You are incredible good Sir. Thank you for your fine and informative content!
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.
I'm so glad that you are back!
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!
Well done! Really enjoyed it!
Early days of flight would make an awesome “TFW” video :)
Thank you so much for this
You are my favorite ASMR artist ❤️
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.
J'adore l'orient express et bien sur qu'on pense directement à Hercule Poirot!!! Merci pour cette vidéo! 👍🏽😊
hello! merci à toi!
Is this going to be video of the year?
I certainly hope not, I have 4 months left to do better!
😎🕺
I can't look at the place setting without being reminded of how much I hate washing dishes.
Lol, don't we all
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!
Ah, the Orient Express! The best exercise of your little grey cells yet.
Who knew the Lindbergh baby affair would have such an impact on Christie?
If you need me, I'll be in my cabin, dozing off to this on phonograph.
Just in time for bed! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️xoxox
Puedes hacer este vídeo en español, es genial la calidad del audio relaja mucho y este tema me encanta, muchas gracias por tus vídeos
It is beyond me how you don’t have a million subscribers!❤️
I know right, I find it scandalous ;)
I actually lived by the 3rd railroad tunnel constructed in America. Black rock tunnel in Phoenixville PA. It goes right under a graveyard, used to joke a skeleton was hanging out of the ceiling in the middle of the tunnel.
Thank you! Such an amazing video!
You deserve more subscribers. This is great content.
I totally agree ;)
Really amazing videos. Thank you.
This is an amazing video! Thank you ❤
