this is the type of video that you have to watch twice: once at night when you quickly fall asleep to it and once during the day when you can relax while listening to the interesting info 🥰😴
Every. single. time... You get me. "Hello, everyone!" Pure magic. I found you by sheer chance. I'm so glad I did!! I have to stop myself saying "hello everyone" in your magical voice.
I'm still so thankful I found your channel and Subbed when I did. You hadn't made a video in a few years but I hoped you might come back one day. Since you did I've been impressed with the evolution of your style over and over.
The day I got a notification that he'd put out a new video I was stunned. Couldn't believe my favourite asmrtist had begun uploading again. Glad he's back.
When my father was a young boy (around 10-12) he and his friend once were playing along the train tracks, as was common in rural US, and as a train came speeding by they made bets as to see who could come closer and for how long. He made the mistake of getting too close to a train moving too fast (around 60 mph or 97 kmh) and had begun to be sucked ever closer to the train by it's draft. If not for his friend's quick thinking, neither he nor I would be here, to tell you this story today. The end lesson is; only toy trains are toys. Trains are nothing to mess around with. God bless friends
Your Orient Express history was my all-time favorite video in your channel. So excited for another train history ASMR. Can't wait to get into this one!
I really appreciate all the effort you put into every video and I genuinely mean that. Good for you. I won’t be irritated like a lot of asmr channels if you put in ad in the beginning. You deserve to get back from the all that effort
Thanks! Let's say I'm gracious enough to not put a price tag on it, but luckily for me I have viewers with a youtube premium subscription and generous patrons who fund this little endeavour ;).
Watching the french whisperer is like reading a book while trying not to fall asleep. You're trying to learn something but you are so tired and your eyelids are so heavy.
I have practically been on my deathbed with pleurisy. The only relief I have had in the hospital was your voice and the sound of trains. Who knew? Perfect timing for another train video
Just imagine that you're a kid again in the back of a car. That's what a train ride is. Except the only difference is: if you live in America you have trains that haven't been kept up with time and a broken corrupt system that won't let them die. Also it's being driven by a stranger and literally held together by duck tape. Lots and lots of duck tape. And then while if you take a train ride overseas (non-American in general), it's still being driven by a person occasionally a robot and the trains are more maintained by a good working system that allows for growth of more economic trains and literally goes twice the speed of the Americans. Anything else slow and steady and about to stall in the middle of nowhere in America, fast and classy if it's not America. I just love my American railways.❤️❤️❤️
I adore the train sensation in this stunning video! Thank you again for another sensational and supremely ethereal journey 🙏🏼 Would you consider doing an ASMR on the old days of luxury ocean liner travel ? 🌊⭐️
I just found your channel and I must say...I am so sorry for not finding it sooner. There is not a source of information, yet relaxation, that I found has appeased my thirst for knowledge such as your own. Timelines are chronological and therefore, my peace feels the same within the “time” of the video. Thank you so much for providing an experience I have been waiting for.
Please make another version where you keep the train sounds, they get me every time. I love your videos, you are a genius, I’ve learnt so from from you. Thank you.
You know so many stories and legends, I bet you're the most intriguing person at every party. Thank you for the effort you put into these videos, I always learn something different. ❤
Hi French Whisperer! I've been a subscriber for years and years on my personal channel, and you're one of my biggest inspirations for starting my own ASMR channel. Just thought you should know you're greatly appreciated.
LOVED this video as always. I know you mostly do history and science, but do you think maybe one day when you run out of lovely topics to lull us to sleep to you could talk about fairy tales? Maybe the history of the ones we know today? Totally just a suggestion, but I love the style you do these videos in and you’re always so educational, and I’ve always been interested in fairy tales.
I have been amble to fall sleep this well in many years as I have during the past month since I discovered the French Whisperer- phenomenal! Thank you so much THe FW!
His house must look like a museum, and I bet he's got an actual library. My dude is smart as hell, always has super well researched videos. You could almost use them as a source for a college paper.
I listen to your stories almost every night to fall asleep. For whatever reason, this one and the Orient Express one put me out in minutes. I guess I must find trains relaxing? Would be interested in hearing more about trains or other transportation evolutions :)
THATS IT! I’ve been trying to figure out which character your voice reminds me of for weeks and I’ve finally remembered. Mr Eko from lost. It’s that lovely, lower, raspy and calm, even tone.
Love your whispered history videos, I listen to them every night. It is the best thing for insomnia. It would be nice one about the history of language, English in particular would be so interesting. Greetings from Spain and keep this great videos!
A voice like velvet that soothes the soul. Like chocolate melting in your mouth. I have only recently discovered your brilliance. It is all I need to hear. I have never slept so deeply with so much peace. I feel at ease. Thank you ❤️
I used to have trouble sleeping but now your ASMR videos put me to sleep in 5 minutes, every time! Thank you so much for your contribution, I am eternally grateful 🙏😊
@@TheFrenchWhispererASMR Ohh, pero qué maravilloso! Yo creo que es complicado una porque está en inglés, dos porque el ASMR no es tan popular quizás acá y tres porque es un tema al cual hay que prestarle atención (si es que no te duermes antes, jaja). Que tengas una buena semana y un buen 18!
Just a wee request for a future video: would love and appreciate one dedicated to black history 🧡 perhaps focused on prominent figures that we weren't taught about in school. Thank you for all the hard work you put into creating these amazing videos for us! We are very lucky to have you 🙌
I'm stunned! What an immense work you did... Where did you procure those Old Irkutsk photos? i 'm an Irkutsk resident and i haven't seen them before. Amazing! Keep up the great work!
Hey :) do you think you could do a vid on angelology and the different kinds of angels across different faiths through history? I think that would be cool. Keep doing what you're doing, you're fantastic :)
You should totally do a video on cryptids like moth man, and wendigo for Halloween! Id love to have some spooky stories to sleep to, ( as much as that sounds counter productive 😂) I always listen to stuff when I fall asleep, and lately the normal hasn’t been cutting it. Your content makes me feel safe in a way, and I’ve fallen right asleep, and also just love listening to the stories you’ve picked. So thank you for that :).
As amazing as the video already is, I think the recanting of the story would've been better with the train sounds having continued the entire time, muted by a little in the background.
I was told I had a past life in Russia. What a beautiful photo you posted of Nicholai Romanov and his family. I just watched a movie called Matihilde it showed Nicholai before he was married it was an amazing movie!

I'd end up calling asleep again he's just so soothing
It's true! I've played it twice now at night and I still haven't learned anything because I fell asleep too fast, which never happens ordinarily!
Every. single. time...
You get me.
"Hello, everyone!"
Pure magic.
I found you by sheer chance. I'm so glad I did!!
I have to stop myself saying "hello everyone" in your magical voice.
What he said. ☝🏻
'ello everyone
This guy has turned what would usually be an insult, “Your voice literally puts me to sleep” into an asset.
I'd love a version of this where the soft train noises don't fade away! They're very relaxing.
I'm still so thankful I found your channel and Subbed when I did. You hadn't made a video in a few years but I hoped you might come back one day. Since you did I've been impressed with the evolution of your style over and over.

Oh no, train sounds and a voice smoother than a quantum stabilized atom mirror! I'm not long for the wakimg... world....
Yay! Was bored looking for something to listen to while doing my HW, nothing was any good. Then I got the alert. Thank you!

Thomas was a little bit hungry
When I was a kid a friend stopped me from getting getting cleaned out by train.
😂
Your Orient Express history was my all-time favorite video in your channel. So excited for another train history ASMR. Can't wait to get into this one!
I'm originally from California. The Motherload Load history would be an excellent topic for the French Whisperer.
I really appreciate all the effort you put into every video and I genuinely mean that. Good for you. I won’t be irritated like a lot of asmr channels if you put in ad in the beginning. You deserve to get back from the all that effort
I go to sleep to your stories every single night! I watch and listen to you religiously. Thanks your amazing.
You’re gracious enough to provide us with an entire novel worth of content AND you narrate it. FOR FREE. Thank you so much.
Thanks! Let's say I'm gracious enough to not put a price tag on it, but luckily for me I have viewers with a youtube premium subscription and generous patrons who fund this little endeavour ;).
So excited for this tonight, my favourite type of content ❤️
Agreed. I love how straightforward his videos are. No bells and whistles. Just his voice 👌🏼
Seriously, I don't think TFW has ever made a bad video. Someone who puts out great content as consistently as he does is super rare.
Watching the french whisperer is like reading a book while trying not to fall asleep. You're trying to learn something but you are so tired and your eyelids are so heavy.
Thank you for taking 2 hours of your time to make this story. It helped me fall asleep.
I freaking love travelling by train! This is perfect. Thank you.
I have practically been on my deathbed with pleurisy. The only relief I have had in the hospital was your voice and the sound of trains. Who knew? Perfect timing for another train video
I hope u are doing better bro!
I loved your Orient Express video, so super excited for this!
Your videos are the best on youtube❤️. The dedication and all interesting topics of every video are just amazing. Love your videos French Whisperer❤️
I've never been on a train, but always wanted to... This is something to enjoy, thank you.

Wow, this is the channel I’ve been looking for. ASMR, history and mythology/fantasy all in one.
Thank you for creating awesome content

As a train enthusiast, this and the Orient Express video are amazing! Please do more railway videos!!!!
A new french whisperer video? What a treat

I love your videos. Educational and soothing 😌 the train sounds really nice too-surprisingly.
You never fail to bring me some peace and sleep. Thank you so much.
Very interesting topic once again! I always love how varied your content is, talking about all facets of history.

You look much younger than I would have expected according to your deep calm voice 😊 thx for the video.

I wish I could learn something during all of his videos, but I always fall asleep within minutes.
This is probably the 15th time I've watched this and it puts me to sleep every time 💙
Thank you very much, have been looking forward to this one!
Makes me happy when I open TH-cam and see a new video from you!
Here we go!!! Cannot wait for this one!
*I love the Trans-Siberean Orchestra for Christmas music* 🎄
Their collaboration with Metallica for Carol of the Bells was pretty epic
I'm just here to say I greatly appreciate everything you do on this channel. Thanks!
His voice is silky smooth. This is better than antidepressants.
Another excellent addition to your catalogue of work. Amazing ❤️
Amazing channel. Just what I needed. You got my full support!!💙
THATS IT! I’ve been trying to figure out which character your voice reminds me of for weeks and I’ve finally remembered.
Mr Eko from lost.
It’s that lovely, lower, raspy and calm, even tone.
Love your whispered history videos, I listen to them every night. It is the best thing for insomnia. It would be nice one about the history of language, English in particular would be so interesting. Greetings from Spain and keep this great videos!
Ah yes relaxation finally, felt this was going show its self soon. Thanks lad

I've been looking forward to this video! I can't wait to go to bed 😴 tonight. You rock! Mr French Whisperer! Thank you so much 💓.
Dilemma: your voice is so, so soothing and I want to sleep, but I am also very interested in the content snd I want to listen to the end.
Oh you fulfilled my wish and added train sounds! Thank you 🥰
Yes! My favorite ASMRtist. Tonight is going to be a goodnight.
Your content is so great that I can't even express it
If I cannot sleep, I will learn. I love so much your videos. Hugs from Chile!
Gracias! Sabes que vivo en Santiago? Hice algunos vídeos relacionados con Chile, pero casi no tengo suscriptores aquí 😅
@@TheFrenchWhispererASMR Ohh, pero qué maravilloso! Yo creo que es complicado una porque está en inglés, dos porque el ASMR no es tan popular quizás acá y tres porque es un tema al cual hay que prestarle atención (si es que no te duermes antes, jaja). Que tengas una buena semana y un buen 18!
You should continue the series on railroads with the Union Pacific Railroad! I love trains and these two videos have been wonderful to listen to
This is going to be perfect!!!
This is amazing thank u so much 👍🏼

Point taken! I made a biography of Josephine Baker last year in a video called "Spy Stories", don't know if you saw it.
i love falling asleep to these history videos thank you so much
Interesting and relaxing. Truly a golden voice
This is perfect! Merci!
Wow, awesome subjects.
I'm very grateful for your videos, thank you.

I loved your Orient Express video ❤️ I usually watch it if nothing else helps offhand
Me encantan tu vídeos, por favor has más en español sobre mitología griega. Saludos desde Colombia ❤🇨🇴
Love history.
Love being read to.
Thank u sir
Wonderful!
I love your taste in history and science, and I'm sure your voice is made of pure butter.
Wait. I just realized a few weeks ago...Are you the French whisperer off that Calm ad? 👀 If so, super cool. 👍
He is
@@lonelittlejerry917 * 0 *
I had no idea. 😬🤷♀️🤦♀️😆👍
I heard it instantly 🥰 so impressed he does this!!
@@maylin1986 He's pretty epic
yes, I never heard the ad, I guess they don't play it in Chile, but I recorded stories for Calm last year.
This reminds me of the videos we watched in history class. The voice always made me fall asleep and the teacher would get onto me 😂
Hey :) do you think you could do a vid on angelology and the different kinds of angels across different faiths through history? I think that would be cool. Keep doing what you're doing, you're fantastic :)
Nice, the trans Siberian railway which is south of Chemgota's borders, it is very epic. I've been on it myself! Thank you for this video! ❤️
Every time I watch your videos, I can’t help but get voice envy lol
Bro I saw this upload in my notifications and legit got super exited
Thank you!! 😎👍❤️
Great relaxing video!
this is so relaxing thank u (:
Usually the French whisperer is amazingly calming. But here he speaks so excitedly and fast it keeps me up!
You should totally do a video on cryptids like moth man, and wendigo for Halloween! Id love to have some spooky stories to sleep to, ( as much as that sounds counter productive 😂) I always listen to stuff when I fall asleep, and lately the normal hasn’t been cutting it. Your content makes me feel safe in a way, and I’ve fallen right asleep, and also just love listening to the stories you’ve picked. So thank you for that :).
could you make a celtic mythology reading???
I hope you do a history of currency, the air plane, or the history of electricity!
imagine this legend narrating planet earth.
The spoon, made me laugh out loud! Ready for sleeping 😘
As amazing as the video already is, I think the recanting of the story would've been better with the train sounds having continued the entire time, muted by a little in the background.
💯 Love all of his content, but always miss the soothing crackling fire, train sounds, whatever when they fade out.
This is ridiculously good
I was told I had a past life in Russia. What a beautiful photo you posted of Nicholai Romanov and his family. I just watched a movie called Matihilde it showed Nicholai before he was married it was an amazing movie!
I like how there's just just random comments everywhere
anyway excited to be watching this and falling asleep to this video
As borat used to say: "wauwawiwa I'm so excite."
As Borat used to say: "Kazakhstan, number one exporter of potassium, all other countries have inferior, potassium."
mmmmmmmm oh good night x I'm so 😊 happy
