Thank you France! We wouldn't be a country without you!

I am not an emotional man per se, but I did get a bit choked up during your stops at the war memorials. Thanks for that, and hope your trip was fun.

You accomplished a lot in 1 day! welcome to America!

I’m glad you enjoyed my home city of Washington DC. One reason I think you appreciated the aesthetic of the city is because it was designed by French-American military engineer Pierre Charles L’Enfant who designed the city to resemble Paris, France. Safe Travels 🇫🇷🇱🇷

My father -- who is a Vietnam Veteran -- took us to Washington DC shortly after the memorial opened, and I remember watching him as he walked up and down the big black wall full of names, searching for something, for hours on end. I didn't realize until the next day that he was looking for his own name.

Welcome to America! I know that coming here has been a goal of yours, but because of the pandemic you had to postpone it. It looked like you had a good time. I hope that you were shown hospitality by all.

Very happy to hear you are feeling better. 🙂 Your infectious smile and wonderful curiosity are an inspiration to all. Thank you for taking the time to visit our war memorials in DC. The most recently finished memorial for WWII is amazing. Looking forward to your next vlog. Please do not keep us waiting too long. Take care and be safe. ❤from Ohio ✌

Great editing and music selection. Like others, I thought the war memorial sequence was touching. 🇺🇸 🇫🇷

Wow DC really is beautiful. It looks especially nice in the rain for some reason. I'm West Coast and have never actually been to Washington DC. But this makes me want to go. I've literally never seen footage of the WW2 memorial. Hope you're having a good trip and America is treating you alright.

So happy that you made the best of your first day after being jet lagged and having poor weather. Loved the video and coverage of some of our war memorials, thank you. Looking forward to the next post.

Wow, nice video. Very professionally shot. It has been more than 20 years since I was in DC. It was a school trip, and I will never forget it for one reason. Our teacher asked us to find a name on the Vietnam Memorial wall. It was actually part of the assignment. We all traced it with paper to "prove" we found it. The "answer" to the assignment was that he had been our teacher's best friend in college and was killed in Vietnam at 19. I recall that all talking ceases in the memorial. All we could hear were sobs. I still remember this older lady crying so hard that she fell to her knees in front of a name and ran her fingers across it. I can only assume it was the name of her son. She was still inconsolable even after 40 years. We all had tears in our eyes. There were happier experiences, but that is the standout memory. It is also a reminder of how many lives are destroyed by war and how high the price of freedom really is.

I just wanted to say that the amount of respect that you show for our veterans in this video and in others is truly amazing and heartwarming. Thank you.

I'm from D.C glad you enjoyed it. Hope too see you back soon

One of the most underrated things about DC is the architecture there is so much to see and do a lot of people miss that.

Welcome to the USA. Love your videos and glad to see what all you have seen already. Can’t wait till the next one. Be safe and enjoy yourselves.

Things felt a little brighter around here (Baltimore-DC area) the last couple weeks. Hope you created some great memories, hon.

Glad to see you're enjoying the US! Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Glad to see you got here safe and it looks like you had fun seeing the sites in Washington DC. I used to live up in Virginia so I got to visit DC from time to time. A beautiful time to visit DC is when Cherry Blossoms are in bloom. Can't wait to see the rest of your trip.

Always nice seeing people exploring my hometown lol

I just moved to DC from Las Vegas this past Monday. The drive in was beautiful! I've never seen trees change so many colors.

Yay! Looks like you got to see some really cool things in DC !! Sorry the weather was so rainy - hopefully the weather improved over the length of your trip. DC is a crazy place, but it holds sooo much US history, it's worth the visit! 🥰 Looking forward to seeing the next video from your trip! I sincerely hope you had a really nice time here in the US, Marie! Hugs!! xo 😃🤗✨

I'm so happy that you got to see DC and some of the monuments. I look forward to hearing you tell us all about what you felt experiencing them. I hope it only gets better for you from here! Enjoy your time here in the US!

Thanks for visiting DC -- not always a destination for folks coming to the U.S. It's a great city that combines a lot of U.S. history and world-class museums with a strong international flavor. It's a world city; you will hear a dozen different languages in a day on the streets and in the Metro. The food choices are similarly diverse. Hope your trip is a wonderful and memorable one.

Welcome to the states. I know you have been wanting to come. Be watching for your post. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!

That ' 7 ELEVEN ' Rooster and Owl @7:08 !!! I had a T-shirt with that image on it when I was very young.. maybe 8 yrs old .. My neighbor ran one of their stores in Florida, and sent me the t shirt in ~ 1959/1960 😮 I haven't seen that for so long ☺

Excellent video and comments. Thanks for posting. Have a nice day.

I hope you enjoyed your time! Washington DC is great- free museums and monuments are great. But I always recommend visitors try something more local and off the beaten path too! DC is so much more than a national capital, it's its own vibrant city full of 600k residents. Excited you're going to a Nats game! Other suggestions: - Rent a CaBi (cheapest city bike rental in the US). Explore neighborhoods along bike paths. Biking is often the quickest way to get across the downtown area especially where metro doesn't directly. - Go into Rock Creek Park. A huge urban park with a zoo, 10+ km of paved trails, picnic areas, and wilderness. - If you like nightlife there's everything from clubs around U St and Adams Morgan to dining and breweries in Georgetown and Brookland or NoMa. - Try local restaurants. I kind of cringed seeing you go to Hard Rock. DC has many diverse residents and you can find world class Ethiopian, Indian, Chinese, Salvadorian, Italian, and more cuisines within blocks. - Take the metro! It's a great way to get around town quickly. Just know that DC metrorail is pay-per-distance, not a flat rate to board. Only tip is some areas are rather affluent and some are rather underserved, like in any city. In general, east of the Anacostia River is either strictly residential (not much to see) or a little dangerous. But everywhere else, for the most part, is safe and has something to offer.

Welcome Marie! You got to see some wildlife! Both Present & Prehistoric!! Glad you got to see the countries Capital! Great editing & tunes. I like the slideshow of photographs at the end. Beautiful War Memorial sequence. Quite a touching place! Can't wait to see your next video! Be well - stay hydrated!! :0) 🐺

Wow you covered a lot of ground in one day. Love the video good job. Can't wait for more.😊

Hahaha... I LOVED hearing you say "squirrel" 😆 That was adorable and PRICELESS! I am SO HAPPY that you came here, and you're visiting right next door to me! I'm in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia... about 2 hours away from the West Virginia line. Hey, did I mention how happy I am that you're here?! I do hope you brought your boyfriend with you, and I wish I could meet up and teach him how to throw a baseball like a pro. 😁 Love you guys, ❤ ENJOY our awesome country! 🇺🇸🇫🇷

Thanks for introducing me to Washington D.C.! I primarily stay in TEXAS, Wisconsin, Colorado & California.

Thank you for honoring the veterans of which I am one. Thank you! God Bless you!

Tant de sourires… même sous la pluie ! ☺️🥰 Bon retour en France ! Pas de chauffage, pas de fuel, pas d’essence… mais beaucoup de grèves ! 🫣😂. Ah bien, ça fait toujours du bien d’être à la maison en toute sécurité avec tes proches ! 🤗🥰

Wow! You made it Marie! I'm so happy for you. I hope your stay in my country was wonderful. I don't mind telling you, I just a bit envious. Never been to D. C.

I ran across your channel again, long time fan of your soft spoken kind videos

Very well done. Excellent video.

I also do those souvenir penny machines everywhere I go in the US and Canada. (We have them in the UK as well, but our designs usually aren't as good as the North American ones).

Such a lovely and intelligent young woman who actually likes America. More Please!!!!

Bonjour sweet Marie, a great first video of your trip to America. You're definitely taking advantage of your time. I hope you get a chance to ride The Metro system in DC. I'm not sure if you noticed, but the stones of the lower portion of the Washington Monument are a different color than those of the upper portion. That's because the monument was completed in two phases. When the second phase was started, the quarry that supplied the original stones had closed, so they had to get the stones from a different source. Stay safe sweetheart, and enjoy the rest of your trip.

Glad you got to DC. NOW if you have not already, you should show us Paris. Your Normandy video was superbly done and very touching.🇺🇸🇫🇷

I love doing DC from Philly for a random day trip only like 2 and half hours away and there is like 20 free smithsonian museums.....Plus the city has a wierd european feel because there isnt any skyscrapers and the architecture is very like European

Welcome to America FrenchTastic, love your video's.

Thanks for Visiting the Vietnam Memorial Wall. Tom Boyte GySgt. USMC, retired Vietnam 1965-66/1970-71

Thank you, I've never seen these memorials before. Love your reactions.

Your videos are really well done!

I’ve always wanted to visit the French island of Martinique. It would be cool if you went there and documented the experience

been watching this America series and you always put in some dope music. I'm guessing it's royalty free. I like that vibe, it's like old school/funk kind of. I hope you're having fun here in the states. take care and stay safe!

Thank you for sharing that Marie. This took me back home to my childhood days,as I used to live in Maryland not far from DC, and my dad took us there often. Most of the places you went to , I have been, so thank you very much for the trip back home and many fond memories!! Can’t wait for the next video!!😎👍👍👍

Excellent video! Wish it would rain here in CA .. appreciate all the pics various government buildings and museum

So good to finally see you again. ❤️

I'm really overwhelmed with little time right now, but you know I wouldn't miss this by one bit ; )

Congratulations on your trip!

Well Done! So glad that you've been able to come visit!

I found the jet lag much easier going west than heading east, hope your return wasn’t as unpleasant as your flight to the States. Makes me happy seeing your smile. You definitely have a soft spot for animals, that also makes me happy. Thanks for sharing.

This was a great video!! Thank you for showing the war memorials. 🙏

Maybe next time you'll get to Glen Echo Park which is an old amusement park that is now a Federal park. It still has a Denzel merry-go-round and the Spanish Ballroom where they have all sort of dance events. I use to go there to go swing dancing years ago.

Those pennies are collected by people from all over. Especially the Disney pennies. I hope you got to see see Arlington National Cemetery and visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. .

There is no cure or preventative for jet lag. However, a lot of the reason you feel bad is due to dehydration on the flight (second is the time change). Drink lots of juice and water to help you feel better sooner.

Wow, I always wanted to go to Washington DC. Thanks for sharing.

Glad you had a good time, DC has a lot to offer, I certainly hope you found your way to FDR Memorial Park, that was perhaps my favorite place when I visited back in 2010.

I live in DC! I also work downtown in NW!! Welcome 🙏🏽 and I hope you enjoyed your stay. Please come back in the summer

I loved this ! I can't wait to see more videos from your trip. Also, I do hope you had a better flight back home.

So happy for you Marie. Washington DC is a great place to start your adventure. So sorry the weather wasn't perfect but you seemed to have visited much ☺️ Can't wait for your next video. Take care 🙏🤗🥰

You know your cars, you spotted the Challenger. You go girl.

I love you. Thank you for visiting our capital. There is so much more to see.

DC has so many great museums!

I believe this is the exact same tour Gomer Pyle did in the late 60's in the visit-to-D.C. episode of the Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. sitcom. The only exception was the Hard Rock Cafe. Sergeant Carter, of course, had other ideas about fun times in the Capital.

Bonjour Marie! Great video! I'm sorry that the weather was cold, rainy, and windy. I've been to most of the places that you went to in this video, they're always impressive. Lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe, lol, it's not bad but I guess at least it's a "bit of Americana." If I had to suggest a place that you could have gone to while you were here, it would've been Panera Bread as they sell croissants and french baguettes, and it'd be interesting to get your take on those. I'm assuming that you're back home in France, and I hope the trip home was a LOT better than your trip here. Thansk for visiting, and for sharing! ~Bonne journee!

Have a great time. Eat well, be safe and keep posting. :)

First day Whaouuuu...Very emotional..Thank you.

Wow! Glad you got a trip and to see so much. More than that you seemed to have a nice time. And since you have the ball cap. That's a curly W for you. I love that you are doing the souvenir pennies. I always thought it was an expensive abuse of a penny but a great value for the memory. Atta girl.

That was so much fun! I don't typically watch travel videos, but I like that you're the one posting them. So I'm in! Funniest part is you describing the winding road stirring up you motion sickness, especially after throwing up on the flight. Hopefully that's all behind you. :)

Hey great to have you here. Washington DC is a great first stop with plenty of things to do. I hear they really put a show on for July 4th celebrations but there is always lots to see.

What a awesome video 📹... I can't wait to see more 😀

Thank you so much Marie for sharing pieces of your first trip to 🙂

Glad you have a great time in DC,thank you for visiting 👍

I am SO looking forward to your videos from the USA! Thank you.

WELCOME TO THE USA MARIE, HOPE YOUR HAVING FUN, BE SAFE TO.. KEEP POSTING YOUR ADVENTURES..

Thank you for sharing this, and welcome to America!! 💞

Very cool. Welcome to the states. Enjoy!

Looks like you had a grand time in D.C. I am sure you are exhausted after that tour. Be safe and most of all, have fun.

I'm amazed if you were able to see all of the museums and monuments in one day! I grew up in Virginia near Washington DC and our schools took the students on field trips to these places. I remember feeling exhausted after just seeing one of the Smithsonian buildings in a day. I look forward to seeing you at the baseball game (which I know the Nationals lost) and I'll be interested to see if you got NFL Football tickets--if that was in DC, the home team lost that one too 😢.

Missed you. Hope you had a good trip. It is said that WV has a nice natural environment. I have been to Fairfax County south of the Potomac, horrible traffic!

Hope you had a great first day Marie it looked like you had fun. I'm so glad you got to visit the U.S. Can't wait to see more videos.

Thank you for the tour!

As I told Manonb on her DC visit video, It's cool to see my home town through someone else's eyes

Great to see this first video from your trip. I’ve never been to DC, but it’s all so familiar from tv and movies. A perfect place to start for sure. It must’ve been so strange, after dreaming about it for so long, to finally be in America!

Well done. Nicely produced and edited. Good choice of music.

Fun video, looks like you made the most of your time in the US. Can’t wait to see more from your trip!

I'm so glad you had a good time in Washington DC, but I wish you had the time to visit Arlington National Cemetery, and in particular the Changing of the Guard at the tomb of the Unknowns. Lord willing, you'll have that chance in the future.

Great video and a great first day for you! Looking forward to the next video. Love baseball! ⚾️

Never been to DC so this was wonderful. Huge impressive buildings and monuments. Sobering memorials that make you remember and appreciate. Thanks Marie this is awesome. Btw nice scratchin' you could be a DJ!🙂

P.S. Great video. Glad you are having a great time.

Gotta love a girl that notices cars. You could have spent a week in DC alone and still have cool stuff to see. I have not seem DC since about 1973. I was 12. I think it may be about time to go back.

Loved watching this video. Would have watched another 10-15 minutes, easily. I have been to DC 2x but was there for work and have always meant to go back as a tourist. This video makes me want to go. Thanks for sharing.

You've did something that I have never done. As a veteran myself it's on my bucket list to go to Arlington cemetery an the war memorial

Lovely video, I'm so glad you are getting an opportunity to see a bit of this country! Wish you had some better weather (🙄), but I am sure you are enjoying yourself just the same. 😊

Glad you could come!

I was born in DC, and I grew up about 15 minutes away and I always forget how much there is to do there! I’ll be seeing Stromae there in December (can’t wait!). I can’t wait to see your adventures in Baltimore! As I said in our messages, I am more than willing to give you a tour if you’re ever back around here! There’s a lot to love outside the Inner Harbor. 😊

Well....I see those streets and buildings pretty much every day.
