As a native New Yorker and truck driver who's been all over the United States, I must give kudos to the "southern bible states" for hospitality. They are consummate examples of respect, dignity, and love. I LOVE the "deep south"! America is blessed to have those folks in our Union. Thank God you're back in the USA helping me remember days gone by that I took for granted. Thank you Marie.

My Mom was from Chattanooga,Tennessee and I was told and saw for myself that “Southern Hospitality “ is a creed Southerners live by. ❤ I love Tennessee because of the woman who raised me💕

In Tennessee it isn't the heat it is the humidity. Glad to see you in my home town. Here is a like and comment to help your channel grow, to appease the great and powerful KZfaq algorithm demon, and get you the recognition you deserve.

Welcome to my home state! I live in the eastern end near The Appalachian Mountains and the border of North Carolina! Enjoy your time in Tennessee!

I'm a native Nashvillian 58 yrs. I'm sure you will hit all the tourists spots.Have a safe trip. I grew up in Nashville never played music sang or wore cowboy hats and boots but do get a kick out of tourists. 😂

As a Southerner, and this is my home state, I truly love that the whole car ride back to the hotel (I presume) that Marie was truly taken aback in a good/positive way with how overly kind many have been in the Volunteer State. Really makes me beam with pride in a way.😊😉☮

Awe this is where my dads' side is from. The hospitality is pretty unreal. I was shocked by it the first time I went back there. The 'lightnin' bugs' in the summer are magic.

It’s nice to see someone from France enjoying our southern food.

Welcome to Tennessee!

It's funny you mentioned how green it is, we have a famous folk hero named Davy Crockett, and one of the verses in songs dedicated to him was "born on a mountaintop in Tennessee, the greenest state in the land of the free, raised in the woods so he knew every tree, killed him a bear when he was only three."

I live in Alabama. I work outdoors surveying . Last summer I worked several weeks in Tennessee. I was glad to be there. It's much cooler in Tennessee

Tennessee is ALL green, sweetie.

Oh yum! You got to eat country ham and red-eye gravy!! I LOVE country ham! That breakfast looked perfect. And you got to see the periodic cicadas! That's a rare treat. Loud!

Yes, southern hospitality is a real thing. People have a drive inside themselves to make your day a little better. Good call on Loveless. I have seen many similar videos of people trying their food. The biscuits seem to be a favorite of Europeans. I really appreciate the way you find a way to see the real side of wherever you go. When you went to Boston, you talked to a firefighter, (even if he talked with a heavy accent). You find a way to see and learn about the places you visit. I can't wait for your next episode.

Bonjour Marie, welcome back to America, and welcome to Nashville (aka Music City, the home of country music) I lived in Mississippi for a year, and the people in the South are very friendly and welcoming. And yes, it is very hot and humid. I hope you were able to check out the Grand Ole Opry.

Love all your videos, but can we just take a second to acknowledge how beautiful Marie is? Don’t feel like she hears it enough. Truly gorgeous with a fantastic personality! 😊

Great video ! Southern Hospitality is indeed a real thing. And I will say, the Natchez Trace is one of the most relaxing roads to travel in the USA.

Your love for the Ford Mustang makes me smile. Safe travels.

Franklin was also the location of a large bloody battle late in the Civil War. A long time history buff here. The Southern Hospitality is a real thing. I am from New England, but the wife and I always enjoy it when we visit the south.

You should check out South Carolina next. Another beautiful southern state, maybe visit the Myrtle Beach area. It’s been one of the most popular vacation spots in the country for decades.

Very good video music , guitars ,Elvis ...Thank YOU...😀😀

Marie, you arrived during the peak of the cicada invasion, so things have settled down considerably. I live in Murfreesboro, not far from Franklin, and that is what it was like here. Noise! Dead and living cicadas everywhere. Cicadas landing on you. I hope you had some Nashville Hot Chicken while you were in the area :-)

Just now seeing this. I live 10 minutes north of Nashville. I just wanted to thank you for your video. Must say I'm so very honored that someone nice, from another country would love our food and culture. Nashville is awesome and you're welcome here any time. God bless!!!

Loveless Cafe has the only biscuits that I’ve ever had that come lose to those made by my Mamaw (grandmother) in East Tennessee.

Vive le Tennessee ! Chaque étoile du drapeau du Tennessee représente les trois différentes régions de l'état.

You should come visit north eastern Pennsylvania in the summer. Absolutely beautiful, soo much nature and amazing hiking. Waterfalls at every turn

Yes! You visited my hometown! Glad you've loved it so far!

So glad you made it back to the States, & decided to visit part of the South! Just a different way of life down here with some really fantastic places to see. Tennessee is a lovely state with some really rich & interesting history. Hope you get a chance to visit more down this way, & I hope Georgia will be one of your stops. Atlanta isn’t really Southern but it’s like most big cities, not representative of the people as a whole. Savannah is beautiful & a short distance from my hometown of Tybee Island (when I was a kid). It is so rich in history, culture & Southern charm. We have the “Little Grand Canyon on the west side of the state & the largest stone carving in world up at Stone Mountain. Safe travels & God bless.

Welcome to Franklin. Ive lived here for 20 years and in Nashville area for 42 years. You will not find nicer people anywhere. I hope I never have to leave. 3 Mustangs on my street. I didnt realize they were that big of a thing. Rent one and have a great time.

Welcome to Nashville. I live about an hour southeast of Nashville. Hope you have a great visit.

Welcome back to the USA, Marie. And welcome to the greater Nashville, TN area as well. I drive by the Loveless Cafe almost every day on my way to work. 😁 The Cicada(s) are loud here, but I am sure they feel the same about our noises, and it is only once every 13 to 17 years... so I try to give them a break. 🙂 Downtown Franklin and Franklin/Brentwood as a whole are probably the best places to be to see Nashville when you want to be there, but not worry about the big city when you don't. Nashville certainly has some special places as well, and even some relatively scenic areas for the nature lovers, and a little bit of everything for the tourists. I hope you have/had a good time in Tennessee! 😀

a friend from childhood just retired, lived in ny, he ,moved to north carolina, he was stunned by how friendly everyone is there!

Really excited that you got to experience our southern states.

Welcome to the SOUTH!!!!!!!!

Wow Marie thank you for visiting my home state. I live about 2 hours from Nashville near Chattanooga. 😊

That's great that you're back already Marie, and this time you get to see Nashville! I've thought before that the Nashville area would be a place that would be nice to live in. It has the greenery like Minnesota, but warmer and milder winters. Plus, the Nashville music scene is great! Have fun, I can't wait to see your next adventures! ❤

Glad to see you came to my state and city. Not many places like Nashville. Hope you had a wonderful time.

Happy you could come to Nashville!

I wanna hear Marie attempt to speak with a Southern accent. 🇫🇷😊🇺🇸

Marie, I knew you'd love Tennessee the second I saw you were going there. Yes, the humidity is high, but the people are awesome. I know a lot of people who have visited there and they never want to leave. I hope you have an amazing time there in Tennessee! I look forward to see what else you go experience there! Take care and keep smiling!

My home state! I'm so glad that it looks like you're enjoying it!

I love your reactions. The breakfast had it's moments, I liked when the waitress explained the red eye gravy. I laughed when you saw chocolate crouissants and said that is wrong, you would know. Nice start of your trip

It’s so great to see you in one of my favorite places to visit in Tennessee. I love it there.

So happy you are seeing the south. Stay well and be safe. Go Mustangs!!

Southern hospitality is definitely a real thing...it just hits different when you're in the South. I hope you were able to travel east and hike some of the mountains.

Hi 👋😁 Miss Marie !!! As Always it's Magnificent seeing you Enjoy our Country !!!! It is With Great Pleasure for We The People to embrace your Explorations . !!! The Like Button ✅ has been Illuminated 🤗👍👍😀🇺🇲🌎🎙️🎧🎥💯🔆🌞☀️🏝️🔥🥵

Welcome back to the states, Marie! Tennessee is looking beautiful so far! I see you've discovered the infamous chocolate croissant.😂

Another Tennesseean here. It's great that you're able to visit and that it looks like you're having a good time.

Born and Raised about 2 hours west of NashVegas in Paris. We even have our own Eiffel Tower...and a catfish on a pole.

I always enjoy your travel videos, but I like this one even more since I am familiar with the area. My parents grew up not far away from there at all. I've been on some of those roads before.

Welcome to Tennessee! Wish you came to Knoxville as well and the Smokies. Marie est en route vers de nouvelles aventures. 😊

So excited to see you in Tennessee! I live in Chattanooga, TN and I love it here, surrounded by mountains. I also loved to see y'all on the Natchez Trace, my favorite road, especially since it leads to my homestead in Mississippi. (We live about an hour from Natchez and make that trek to Natchez a lot). I can't wait to see where you go next 😄

Welcome to the South 👍

The South is as close to Heaven you can get while on earth!

Thank you Marie 💕💕!! I will send comments as soon as I can 🥰.

My wife and I are actually going through Franklin next month on our trip to NY, so cool that you went there. Have fun during your time in America!

Nashvile awesome City. Country Music Capital.

red Eye Gravy !!! It's what my Mama made. !!! It's so good !! It's from northern Alabama Tennessee . One time I was near Montgomery Alabama , I asked for red eye gravy. They made tomato gravy for me. They didn't know. I liked it it was good. So everyone was happy.

It's always fun seeing you starting off on a new adventure like that. This series should be an exciting one. Off to a good start so far! Looking forward to the next one! Howdy! 🤠🎸🎶✈️🌎🇺🇸🍻

Next level nice = southern hospitality

Bonjour Marie! My buddy and his fiancee are both visiting there right now as well, they went there the day after you and just left as of when this uploaded. He told me of the loud cicadas, lol! He said they have been to that Loveless Cafe and thought that their chicken and biscuits were amazing and delish! As for the chocolate croissant, a restaurant chain called Panera Bread used to have croissants and also would split some the long way and fill them with chocolate and drizzle chocolate and also powdered sugar on top. They got rid of the regular croissants and now serve a chocolate croissant that looks like the one you saw, but it still also has the chocolate drizzle and the powdered sugar on top. I wish they called it something else, because it's not a croissant. Anyway, I hope you have a great time, maybe you'll bump into my buddy and his fiancee, lol! Bonne journee! ~Be Blessed

I hope you got to see the Parthenon 😊

Hey, you were in my town! The people with cowboy hats are tourists - usually in town for a concert. The Loveless Cafe is good enough that even we locals like to eat there, it's not just for tourists but it can get crowded on weekends. The Natchez Trace is a great place for a motorcycle or bicycle ride since it's basically a 444 mile long - 1/2 mile wide National Park, and you arrived at peak season for the tinitus bugs. They should start to dissappear in a couple more weeks.

My wife was born on the other side of Tennesee. The actual birth was in Kentucky, but she was raised in the tiny city of Speedwell, near Cumberland Gap. Tennesee is a very long state.

Thank you for showing how beautiful our state is

Happy to hear you're having an extended stay! The only thing better than Marie is...MORE Marie! 😁 You're off to a great start...beautiful video!

Yay! As a native Tennessean who has been watching your channel for a while, I'm happy to see you experience some of my home state! Welcome 🙂(edit, one of my great grandfathers immigrated to the US from France when he was 3. Our countries have shared histories. Go back far enough and we all have an ancestor to each other.)

Bonjour Marie! Hooray! Welcome back to America Marie 🇺🇸! Happy Early Memorial Day to you from America 🇺🇸! Merci beaucoup Marie for this vlog!

I was in Franklin during the weekend for the Renaissance Faire.... Nice knowing we were there at the same time, maybe I'll see you 200 miles farther west! From your friend in Memphis, thank you for visiting Tennessee.

Marie definitely has a thing for Mustangs 👍

Southern Hospitality ...... "Nice taken to the next level". Well said Marie.

I love that Melobar you shot a close up of! That's an unusual guitar that's worn like a regular guitar but is actually played like a lap steel using a steel tonebar as a slide.

Southern heat is brutal. Glad you survived it.

Bienvenue à Nashville!

coffee is used to deglaze the pan with the meat drippings. Like the wine one uses when making Coq au vin.

Welcome to Nashvegas! You get the like comment for braving the humidity.

As a Nashvillian, welcome!

Now that I have discovered your channel, I’m binge watching a lot of of your content. It is so nice to see you experience so many good things about the United States. I also like learning how a French/European person reacts because it helps me to learn about Europeans as well. I plan to travel extensively throughout France in the near future and it’s nice to watch videos like yours to begin to understand French/European people. Thank you so much.

You’re making me homesick for Tennessee!

Yippee yay!!! Back in America Let's go 🤠 🛣️ 🇺🇸 Howdy Marie , Phew! That's a long ✈️ flight , how do you find the patience , when it comes to flying through stormy weather you take your chances , so thankful you landed safely.when it comes to first impressions , what a joy it is driving around admiring the lush beautiful countryside , it tends to be more greener the further east you go. I like the homely feel of the Diner's , ha ha anything on the menu as long as there's eggs. That Southern Hospitality really shines through with it comes to the service , the waitresses explaining how your foods been prepared you don't often find that elsewhere. They've always got some cool signed photos while eating out in the states , Elvis sure did like his burgers & fried cooking , those mats were nice , i haven't tried any Goo goo' s nougat & nuts looks yummy , perfect while on the road. Franklin a charming easy going little town , it kinda reminds me of Mayberry from the Andy Griffith's show. Whoa what a weird coincidence , I was listening to a radio show from there for the first time on Sunday morning. Can you believe how many Cicadas there's been , I could do without the hissing , I guess it wouldn't be the sound of summer without them , the wild institute even came up with some lyrics to their song , i do like some of the t-shirts. The bakery 🥐 had a nice selection , maybe you already explained why chocolate croissants are so wrong , there gonna eat them anyway , the 🍪 were to sweet , I'll have the strawberry chocolate please 😋 . If I ever adopt a new 🐕 it would be adorable to see him playing with his chewies. I also like the homemade crafting stuff as long as it not tacky. I recognised a few places from the wooden map like Clarksville & Shelbyville , I was wondering if Clarksville was the same as the Monkeys song" last train to clarksville" turns out it is , there's a Fort Campbell nearby home to the 101 Airborne division , the song all about leaving the one you love & going to war not knowing if your ever come back. Carter's 🎸 has an Amazing collection , you could have a fortune in your attic that's been handed down & not know it especially if it's signed , I'm guessing there could be allot of Guitar's that were played & given as gifts by Elvis that are still showing up. When it comes to being left handed , your in great company like Hendrix who played upside down to compensate , McCarthy would restring his guitars & there's also Kurt corbain. It's wonderful to see you strumming along , I've been wondering how you've been coming along. The Feder Jag a guitar that's been especially designed just for left handers. It's marvelous getting some more new Picks 🤟 To finish with here's some trivia on Tennessee State ✨ The 3 Stars on the flag represent the east , middle & west , the blue circle unites them. There's 8 borders & you have to cross the state to reach the south . During the civil war it was the last to secede from the union & the first to rejoin. It's known as the Volunteers State because so many have fought in wars going back to 1812 & onwards. Tennessee has the only largest salt & pepper collection with 20 , 000 pairs. Smokey Mt National Park has the most visitors in the country. The State Aquarium 🐠 in Chattanooga has a Ell that uses it's electricity to power it's own X account. It's home to more than 12, 000 animals & 300 fish & reptiles. The Reelfoot Lake is known as the Turtle 🐢 capital of the world There's more 🐎 per capita in Shelby county than anywhere else in the USA Iroquois thoroughbred was bred at Belle meade & was the American horse to win at the english derby. Morden breeds like Secretariat can trace their bloodline back to Iroquois. To learn more about Southern phases & funny words like Cattywampus , Frunchard & Doohickey go to Somewhere down south from Karin & Emily & Serving up Southern websites. Thanks Marie , your off to great start & looking happier for it , looking forward to where your buddy guide takes you too next. Embrace the Adventure , Blessings for the road ahead . 🤩 💛 🧭 ✌️ Prayers to all the families of the fallen 🙏🌹 as we honour their memory & sacrifice on this Memorial Day.Thank you Veterans for your service , Your never be forgotten 🤗🎖️🇺🇸

As soon as you got to the vintage guitars, my eyes lit up. That's like Disney World to me. I'm so glad you're feeling welcome.

Hi Marie, I'm always excited to watch your lovely videos. Stay happy and live out your dreams💙

Welcome back to America sweet Marie. Looking forward to the new adventure.

Love to view your adventures Marie and the reactions! So happy you are back for more American travels; and also sharing your home 🇫🇷experiences as well! Happy travels ✌🏽🥰

I just found your channel and I love that you are randomly exploring the USA. Your accent is great because you’ve totally perfected some sounds and pronunciation but not others, so it sounds like either an American speaking or a French speaking english, and it changes every few words. 😂 ❤

I went for a business visit to Nashville… i could not believe how nice everyone was. The waitress at our hotel restaurant treated us like we were her grand kids

We have cicadas in some parts of NC this year. I have only seen a few, but there are reports that some people have called the police because they think it's their neighbors making all the noise. 🤔

Can't wait till she hears some country bands in Nashville.

Welcome back. I became an instant subscriber when I saw there was actually a French person interested in fixing mispronounced English words. That was golden. I don't speak French but I do understand how the training of the musculature of the mouth and throat is very important to speaking any language. It is music and your voice is a wind instrument and you must have an embouchure. I admire that you are not the stereotypical snooty Frenchie (except for chocolate croissants)

Put that country ham in a biscuit for a quick easy treat later...just saying :)

I've lived all over the u.s., Maine, Mass. California, Missouri, N.C., Illinois, Colorado, when I got to Tennessee I stopped.

So do you have a favorite year/model/color Mustang? Back in the late 80's my friend built a 1970 Mach I basically from scratch! Just used the frame to start. They don't look that dissimilar to the newer models. You should rent one for a day on your visit!

Great video Marie!

I just moved to Nashville from Georgia a month ago. I’ve also commented on how green it is (lack of pine trees for me as compared to back home)

I use to live near Nashville. They built Opreyland behind our house. 2219 Cabin Hill Rd. To this day I miss the friends we left behind. Good people!

Glad you made it to Franklin. I was there just yesterday. Should have eaten at Puckett’s!

Welcome to Tennessee, hope you visit Chattanooga.

Nashville...fun town but a tad rowdy. Music's great but the town...take it or leave now. Glad you enjoyed it.

Wow welcome back 🔥 🔥 🔥

I don’t live there currently but Nashville is my hometown. I’m very happy you enjoyed yourself so much and hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip
