I'm so grateful that you started making videos again last year. The time and effort you put into every one is evident, and it makes for such fantastically relaxing and interesting videos. Absolutely one of my favourite channels ❤️
@@heidimariem8851 my wife is very into healing crystals, meditation and holistics. I genuinely have given it a shot and it didn’t do anything for me. I won’t say that I’m totally in disbelief but I can say a lot of it has to do with placebo in my opinion. Your mind has a weird way of making things so with external stimulants. If you want to it to be your mind can almost always make it so. So in that aspect absolutely, they are very effective, for someone like myself who is skeptical not so much.
I don't usually watch the screen while playing your videos but man I'm happy you put so much effort into the visuals as well. Love your relativity video!
I was searching for a male voice asmr to listen to. Tried a few others and as soon as I clicked on one of yours... sigh of relief and relaxation. I know this is an older video, but thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for doing these. You are an amazing person for how many people you have helped, in even this small way. The world needs more like you sir. Peace and love.
I was afraid that when this didn't win your poll you wouldn't make the video! Really fascinating stuff and taught me a lot about a subject I didn't know much about. Thank you for all you do!
My new puppy and I thank you so much for your time and energy in making these videos. Your soothing voice helps him sleep on his own at night! Still a bit of whining and barking but he's getting the idea. He definitely likes your videos to calm him down! ASMR for puppies!
Love this video. When you mentioned Golconda in India I was so happy. I was there for a few weeks with work based in hyderabad which is not far. Seen Golconda Fort and some lavish gem stone stores for the very wealthy scattered around.
Been looking forward to this video since your poll! Your set is nice, and of course, the topic is as interesting as I thought it’d be on top of your soothing voice 😊😴 it’s definitely going in my asmr favorites playlist
Now that’s my favourite subject! Thank you beautiful man! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ p.s. my unborn daughter seems to kick a lot when I watch your content I think she likes your voice too :)
Your props are amazing! Your videos are so detailed and thoroughly researched. You've become my favourite asmr channel to fall asleep too and I'm actually learning something too! Ive whipped out a few tid bits from your videos in conversation lately. Thanks for all that you do x
I just want to say your ASMR videos are some of the most high quality and well edited I've ever seen. I listen to your videos almost every night since discovering your channel and I genuinely hope you keep releasing more content far into the future. You're very creative with your presentation and I enjoy how you decided to stylize your shots with the props and the camera angle. Thank you for making it easier to fall asleep in comfort every night! I hope you have a way of feeling the same way you make others feel.
So happy to get home from a long day and find this video. It was my second choice to the Mayans! Thank you!! Not only are your videos great, but your timing seems to be perfect!! I'll be going to sleep listening to your wonderfully soothing voice & a great story! 💜😴
I'm so glad that I found your channel!! Not only have you provided me with many nights of peaceful & restful sleep, but additionally quite abit of knowledge on unique & facinating subjects that I otherwise might not pursue on my own had they not been covered in your content. Thank you for all the time & energy you put into this !!💜 I just wanted you to know that its acknowledged & greatly appreciated!! 💜 I look forward to viewing future posts from you!!💜
Saw this pop up in my feed at 4:45 am... I really needed one of your super relaxing, super educational, super calming videos right now! 😭 Now I'm finally going to sleep! Thanks in advance (for when I'm a sleep mid video)!💤🤗💤
Yes! Please do another on gems.. Would also like a program on the treasures of the great museums? Specifically, the British Museum that has so many interesting things!
I like to think that you're dabbling and own real diamonds in your hands... Then I'd like to continue thinking "using real diamonds for ASMR" has got to be the most "rich bastard" thing to do and I absolutely love it!! 😂😂 Superb history lesson as always.
Hey when you do these you should leave music in the background of some of these videos .. I really love your voice with soothing music in the background THANKK YOUU!!!
I like pretty things very dearly, but I *love love love* all natural science so much, especially physics! 💫😍💎 Ps. Could you please be so kind as to make a video of the general Japanese _cultures_ history (traditional arts, believes, manners etc.) and another one focusing on _Geishas._ I always trust, you know not to sugarcoat history. 💮🌸💮🌸 I am a little bit obsessed with Japanese traditions and of course always everything regarding womens rights. 🙆🏻♀️ I have a few other video wishes of historical subjects as well, so naturally I'd be happy to join your Patrion to suppert your informative, comforting and inspiring channel! 😘
Encore une nouvelle vidéo que je ne comprends malheureusement pas. Je regrette sincèrement que vous ne fassiez plus de vidéos en Français, vous êtes décidément le plus interressant des chuchoteurs francophones. Si seulement le public adhérait mais bon, ça ne vaut sûrement pas une vidéo sur la dernière coupe à la mode des ongles de pieds. J'espère que les demandes en Français se feront de plus en plus fréquentes ce qui voudra dire qu'il y aura un intérêt croissant du public francophone 😊. En tout cas, merci pour tout même si pour moi, c'est du chinois. Ou plutôt de l'anglais 😉
comme bcp de gens ici, et moi, on a apris l'anglais et on respect TFW enormement, je ne m occupe pas comment jecris ici ni les accents, encore qq chose ennoyant eh
Mais avec cette individu je suis partagé parce que on sent qui partage un véritable intérêt à partager ses passion mais si on regarde ses vidéos les plus populaires ce sont les vidéos en Anglais donc forcément il s’en bat un peu les coucouniette des vidéos françaises ou je me trompe et il kiff plus les Anglais que les français point .
You must be incredibly well read. I’d love to know your process for making these videos. What kind of materials you read over, do you make an outline/take reading notes? Each video is a great synopsis of the topic. Impressive!
Love to see one with you handling daggers or swords ect.. something like that. I ever get rich and I'll tour ancient sites in Europe and send you ahead to prepare a lesson like this it'd be awesome! Sadly me getting rich isn't very probable... 🤨😋
I just love your channel! I started with Atlantis on calm.com and was so glad to find more here. I’ve listened to almost all of your videos. I love how educational they are. I especially love your videos on ancient history and other unique topics like this one. Thank you for sharing your wonderful voice and knowledge with us.
Your voice can be heard in the 1999 PC game tomb raider 4 the last revelation, in a cutscene where lara Croft visits a French archeologist and he explains to her the story of seth and the amulet
@@ConcreteMars he obviously didn't voice that game, but I only mentioned this because his soothing tone of voice reminded me of that part of the game. This is merely sarcasm.

♥ fantastic thankyou so !
This is my first time on your channel and first video of yours I'm watching but I'm hooked 💯💯 going to watch a lot more. Very calm and soothing 🇫🇷🇫🇷
I heard you on Calm.
You have such a unique voice.
I instantly subscribed to your channel.
Thank you for such wonderful subject matter.
Mmmmmmmmmm time stamps
INCREDIBLE HEISTS
I'm so grateful that you started making videos again last year. The time and effort you put into every one is evident, and it makes for such fantastically relaxing and interesting videos. Absolutely one of my favourite channels ❤️
Fun fact: The ONLY place in the world where the public can dig for diamonds (and keep any you find) is Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas, USA!
It's really awesome! I've been there!
@@ftjosie8395 find any?
I'd love a video on famous heists, like The Great Train Robbery, and DB Cooper. I think that would make for a fascinating video.
Add Brinks Mat to the list. 🤙
Second this
GREAT idea. Could also add the Gardner Museum art heist!
Love this idea!
They're minerals Marie!
No Hank, they're just rocks
@@TheFrenchWhispererASMR awwww
Yes!
This should be top comment
I'm pretty sure in this case they are just glass.
I think this is the only ASMR video about gemstones that doesnt allude to supernatural qualities. Refreshing!
BigBennKlingon iS tHaT a StEvEn UnIvErSe ReFeReNcE!?
Fridz10 no
But they do have really awesome properties that can enhance you life in sooo many ways. Don’t knock it till ya try it. 😊

i like to imagine that is the actual Koh-i-Noor and the queen is sitting just off camera having a cup of tea.
“This is a diamond, these are really hard, that’s about it”

I always knew you were secretly an international gem thief, this is clearly just you showing off your big scores.
I feel we are all incredibly lucky to have this luxurious recording
Is such a wonderful surprise to check the phone and find a new video here! I am counting minutes to arrive home and hear this with good earphones.
This guy deserves so many more views.

Hurrah! And what a wonderful subject.
Your slow, gentle movements are incredible, they affirm your soothing voice. The perfect match. Don’t ever change you are perfect.
I cannot wait to read the French Whisperers book one day when we all find out he's been Indiana Jones the whole time lol
I love your educational and relaxing videos. They are the perfect thing to calm and distract my mind as I go to sleep.
10x better than any history lesson 💯
Only recently discovered this channel and it really makes me feel both calm and happy. Thank you!
Welcome!
As a goldsmith and jeweller, I loved this video!
Love this video. When you mentioned Golconda in India I was so happy. I was there for a few weeks with work based in hyderabad which is not far. Seen Golconda Fort and some lavish gem stone stores for the very wealthy scattered around.
Thank you for coming back, monsieur. Every video you make is wonderful. The ASMR community is fortunate to have you as a part of it.
Each video keeps getting better really loved this one.

I usually scroll through ASMR results. But as soon as I see you have made a new video, I watch it without question.

Aw isn't that adorable
Yes! Finally, thank you ☺️
Saw this pop up in my feed at 4:45 am... I really needed one of your super relaxing, super educational, super calming videos right now! 😭 Now I'm finally going to sleep! Thanks in advance (for when I'm a sleep mid video)!💤🤗💤
Yes I would love some gem related stories, like if you agree!
Thank you, French Whisperer. Your voice and hands are magic!
Absolutely lovely.
Beautiful... I love falling asleep to your voice while learning such interesting things...! Thank you
Heist stories would be awesome!
I'm struggling to stay awake but I don't wanna sleep cuz it's so interesting... I'm hooked on your channel
I just love your voice and the range of stories are fantastic. Thank you so much ❤️😴💤✨
Thank you for the video! I am very interested in this topic. I would love more videos with historic stories about gems.
I would love another gemstone video! This one was fantastic!
Yes, I would enjoy hearing about other gemstones. Thank you for the video, it has helped me fall asleep.
I love your work. Learning and sleeping. Please keep it up and stay safe and healthy,
My new favourite ASMR channel, the trouble is, I start learning each video, but I fall asleep cause its so good, and I end up learning nothing lol
I love your content and have for years, said it before and ill say it again....I'm glad you're back please keep making videos :)
Phenomenal channel! I can't find anything better.
Ohhhh what a gorgeous voice you are perfection. Thank you so.
Those stories would be amazing to hear.
Nice narrative. Thank you!
Yes please. Gem stories would be great. Tracking the origin and events of spesific objects would be awesome
YES!! You are always my favorite!
This is quite relaxing! Thank you for the tingles, friend 😊
43:20 It absorbs yellow light -> we perceive this as blue. Substances that absorb blue light appear yellow :)
oops, you're right - I thought one thing and said the opposite
I love your voice! So relaxing
This is so relaxing it took me a lot longer to go to the bathroom and type this than it should.
Ahh French whisperer have you forgotten about the chaos emeralds?? The greatest gems ever made
nice been waiting for this
I actually found this to be much more interesting than I thought it would be!
This is beautiful!
I have my iron pickaxe ready
Notched?
I would absolutely love to hear you tell stories about famous jewels. That would be awesome! 💖💎
I think a video on famous heists and robberies would be interesting
I would very much like the stories about famous jewels in the future :)
I was at golconda Fort recently near hyderabad/charminar 😊 Really enjoyed this video. Your videos are excellent!
Loved this
Yes! Please do another on gems.. Would also like a program on the treasures of the great museums? Specifically, the British Museum that has so many interesting things!
I would love a video about famous gems!
You're the real gem! 👉👉
Another great video! Would love to hear about the affair of the necklace. S’il vous plait!
I loved this. Would like to hear about Marie Antoinette’s jewels 💎:)
I love your videos!
Would you please share where you purchased the box of gems in the blue box? Gorgeous 😍
You can find sets like the one he uses in this video by searching online for "diamond paperweight set" 🥰
10:51 Ranjit Singh! One of the greatest figures in our history. WJKKWJKF
It would be really cool to make a video about the history of the Hope Diamond.
I like to think that you're dabbling and own real diamonds in your hands... Then I'd like to continue thinking "using real diamonds for ASMR" has got to be the most "rich bastard" thing to do and I absolutely love it!! 😂😂 Superb history lesson as always.
Hey when you do these you should leave music in the background of some of these videos .. I really love your voice with soothing music in the background THANKK YOUU!!!
I enjoy your videos immensely and
I think you do an amazing job.
Please Create a video on Queen Marie Antoinette’s necklace. 👸🏼

I have a few other video wishes of historical subjects as well, so naturally I'd be happy to join your Patrion to suppert your informative, comforting and inspiring channel! 😘
Your videos are so interesting but I can never stay awake so i have to watch them a few times 😂
I love gemstones I have some too! ❤️
(I already knew about some of the powers they have)

Thanks; I made a video about my process last year. It is called "making-of" or something like that.

How do you not have one speck of lint
My God, man, your voice is velvet.
Did they hire you for the calm app? I swear I heard your voice in an add. Glad you’re still uploading! :)
yes I recorded stories for them.
The content is fab in that it takes you to far off exotic places but that sexy French voice sends me to la la dreamland.
Your voice can be heard in the 1999 PC game tomb raider 4 the last revelation, in a cutscene where lara Croft visits a French archeologist and he explains to her the story of seth and the amulet
I mean, I dont think this guy voiced that character. There exists more than just one singular French person...
@@ConcreteMars he obviously didn't voice that game, but I only mentioned this because his soothing tone of voice reminded me of that part of the game. This is merely sarcasm.
Your accent is fabulous.
Merci merci 💎😻
