Boston is old (for the US) going back 1630. Harvard, oldest US University, goes back to 1636. Obviously, compared to Paris…. First battles of the American Revolution were in Boston.

Welcome to Boston!

Another fun fact: Ho Chi Minh worked as a baker at the Omni Parker Hotel here in Boston 😮

It makes me so happy to hear her talk about being back and how much she misses it.

My son traveled the east coast and said Boston was his favorite place 😊 As an American who will more than likely never see Boston in person, I can't tell you how much your travel means to me. It looks like a beautiful place. I'd love to see all the history there. Thank you Marie! Love from Illinois. ❤

From Long Island, NY and I've only been there twice (once was for work) and me and 3 friends went to a Yankee/Red Sox game and everyone was great to us. Very friendly city and it definitely is pretty, and clean. And the clam chowder is out of this world! 😁

Wow! My sister lives in Boston! My family is from Massachusetts! The first member of my family to come to MA came in 1630!

My ancestor also came to Plymouth from England in 1630. He married the granddaughter of 3 of the original Pilgrims. My paternal grandfather was born in Mattapoisett, moved to Portsmouth,NH to work at the shipyard and was a Merchant Marine in The Great War.

Welcome to my home city! Not everyone raised in Boston has the same accent - I could guess where that firefighter lived when he was a boy. My accent is similar, but not exactly the same. I've been waiting for this - no mountains or canyons, but probably the most European city in America. I live in a town on the southern border of the city, and there's a small stone monument to French soldiers who camped on the location on their way through during our Revolutionary War. The Museum of Fine Arts has a great French Impressionist painting collection, and the Boston Symphony introduced many French classical music pieces to America - there was a strong French cultural influence on the city. Also, many Second Empire Mansard roof buildings and houses.

Braintree? Milton? Quincy? No, they don't have the same accent. There's neighborhood variation. There's Brahmin, though that's rare now and probably headed for extinction. There are working class variations, vice what I term "Boston Superior" which is sort of upper middle class but not Brahmin. Sadly, the accent as a whole is dying out.

I can't believe that a You Tuber is visiting Massachusetts. Welcome hope you enjoyed your visit.

Boston's an unusual American city. You can walk around it. Also the architecture is great: "We built this three centuries ago and we see no reason to change it."

As a "Bostonian" (born and raised in the suburbs, but been there countless times), I absolutely agree. There's a reason one of our nicknames is "The Hub", because for a long time we were a major entry point for merchants and immigrants coming from Europe, and we were one of the largest cities in early-America, so we had a lot of European influences on our architecture and such. An incredibly cosmopolitan city that is quintessentially American, but with a strange flavor of a European city that is far more walkable than most U.S. cities. My favorite is the meme showing the grid lines of streets in New York and L.A., then it shows the winding/meandering Boston streets and just says "Boston street map: Because f*&k you!" HAHAHHA! Another oddity for us...very cosmopolitan, but crude as hell!

Boston is a very walkable city. When we were there we were walking 8-10 miles a day looking at all of the sights. So mich incredible US history is everywhere you look.

Fun fact: most people think Harvard is in Boston but it's not, it's in Cambridge, Ma which is Actually a suburb of Boston whereas cities like Charlestown home of old Ironsides (USS Constitution) is Boston sort of like Brooklyn is New York. The part of Boston you're in is what we call downtown it's like the city center and don't worry about understanding the accent that takes a while, many Americans have trouble with it also, especially when we forget to tone it down. I'm so happy you'll get to experience the history we grew up with and I hope you have a...........FrenchTastic time:)

Kind young lady deserves the upgrade every now and then. Happy for ya

I've lived in Boston my whole life (age 55). When I'm in other cities and tell people, during conversation, where I'm from. They always say "I love Boston!!!". I look at them with a confused look and ask "Why?" HAHAHAHA!

Bienvenue a Boston Dans Ma Chausette! My hometown . . . I was actually born in the neighborhood that encompasses the airport. It's called East Boston and rivaled the North End many years ago for its Italian immigrants. I learned about this funny way of saying Massachusetts (Dans ma chausette) when I lived in Paris. Hope you had a great time. I love this city.

Massachusetts native here. My dad grew up within the Boston city limits and my mom grew up in a town right outside Boston. You could see the city skyline from one street over from her house. I grew up going to Boston every week and my husband and I were in the North End a couple of weeks ago. I love Boston so much. Tons of history, one of the best sport’s cities in the country, and so much to do and see.

My Hometown! Welcome And I hope you have a great time 😊

Welcome back to the USA. I love how you have more interest and reverence for American history than most Americans your age. I’ve been to Boston several times, mostly for work training but I have had opportunities to explore the city a bit. I hope you were able to see the USS Constitution sailing ship. Also check out The Green Dragon, one of the oldest bars and the Union Oyster House, one of the oldest restaurants in the US. Also the Old North Church and Paul Revere House, the story where he saw the lanterns in the church and rode all night to warn the British are coming…. But we always appreciate you coming to America. :)

You are developing a good eye. Better than some travel shows. I feel I am walking the streets with you

Sorry you came during a week that's mostly been rain. One month later and it would've been beautiful sunny and warm weather.

I’ve recently relocated to Boston from the Midwest of the US and I love seeing someone else who is as enamored with my new home as I am ☺️ I’ve only been here for a year and a half so I still have my Midwestern accent and I love encountering native Bostonians with the old school accent! Edit: I will admit I haven’t been to the North End yet except for work (I am a nurse and see patients in their home) because it’s an absolute nightmare to drive in 😭 It’s so cute and I want to explore but it’s sooooo frustrating to navigate

Welcome back to the U.S. Marie. I laughed so hard when you were trying to put that seat belt on. It reminded me of the guy in the helicopter on the movie Jurassic Park. He finally gave up and tied it in a knot. Boston is a great place to visit. Hope you have a great time on your visit. Can't wait to see the next video.

Great, Marie. Congrats. My husband and I were once upgraded to fist class on an overseas trip at Christmas time. I thought I would never, ever want to fly in the back again, but that was the only time I did. The flight was full, the lines were long and an employee picked us up from the line and took us into the plane. I always thought it was because we were the only ones well-dressed, I think my husband was wearing a necktie. 👍

My hometown! I speak English, French and Boston. But no - I couldn't follow what that guy was saying either - his accent was especially strong - stronger than most. I feel **exactly** how you do when I touchdown in France - same exact sentiments but in the opposite direction. Yeah the road signs, the architecture, the sound of people talking. I've passed by the State House many, many times but don't think I've ever been inside it. I think I'd say Boston is my favorite city in the US (of course I'm biased) but haven't actually lived there for many decades.

Bonjour Marie, welcome to Boston. You really put in quite a day (13 miles). I was hoping to hear you try speaking with a Boston accent, but no matter. I was glad to see you get upgraded to first class, and the seat belt experience was funny.

Born and raised, and still live in Gloucester, about 40 minutes north of Boston. Love seeing someone experience the area for the first time!

Welcome to Boston and enjoy your time. We actually have a large French population here working in the Biotech industry including my next-door neighbors. Unfortunately this is about the worst weather you could see. Early March is half winter, half spring, and too wet. Come see it in Autumn sometime and you be amazed. You are correct that this is the most European city in the US.

I'm from Massachusetts, live in Connecticut now. We used to go to Boston for field trips and day visits. Had my bachelorette party there. I love living right between two of the bigger cities in New England ❤❤❤

Welcome to New England sweetie. Enjoy your trip here.

I loved this video, Marie. Boston looks beautiful and there’s so much history there. Also, the firefighter’s accent reminded me that JFK had a Boston accent too.

Boston is 1000x prettier in spring and Autumn. Spring flowers and autumn foliage are amazing in Boston

The people of the United States and France have been blood brothers over all the years. Our societies are very intertwined. French soldiers fought right side by side Americans in the Revolutionary War. French sailors fought off the British in American coastal waters. We returned the Favor on WW1 and D Day. Guess who gave us the Statue of Liberty ? There is a lot of France in America and vice versa.

Late getting here but it’s June 6th for me. Respect & honor to those who sacrificed on beaches of France for all of us. Our two countries have a complicated history but have been intertwined in freedom

My birthplace, raised near here as well! So pleased you ended your US travel drought by visiting Boston, and in First Class too! As you know, this region is where the USA was born, and it's a wonderfully compact city in many ways, with so much to see. I am thrilled you are walking the same streets, seeing the same sights I grew up with! Wishing you a wonderful experience, looking forward to more videos! Welcome Marie!!

I love that you love the States so much! You should just go ahead and immigrate and get on with the rest of your life as an American. You already fit in, people like you are what keeps America fresh and vital.

I love seeing my city through other people's eyes, especially non Americans! Glad you visited. Come back during autumn time. You'll see beautiful leaves and trees. Our weather during this time of year isnt the greatest.

I hope you go back to Boston in the warm months. There is nothing like warm summer nights in Boston. It’s incredible. And then you’d want to go to the Cape and take advantage of so many other summer things in Mass, like the many ice cream spots at the dairy farms. New England is a gem.

You really captured Boston, U.S.A. Fabulously videotaped.

I took a train into Boston once when I lived in Connecticut. I remember there were swans living in Boston Common. I took a bus tour around some historical sites and ate at Hard Rock Cafe. Thank you for bringing back the memory.

Also firefighters are some of the nicest people almost everywhere. I don’t know if what makes them go into a life-saving field also makes them so amiable but most of the ones I’ve met are super friendly and open. Maybe it’s just from working with all type of people means they’re extra kind but I’ve never met a grouchy one or one that wasn’t happy to show off their cool equipment or trucks 😂

Born and raised here! Welcome. I LOVE your country too. Enjoy

Boston! One of my favorite cities. Ah yes Faneuil Hall? That was such a fun place to visit and near the patriot walk. So many great restaurants in Boston...never wanted to leave it!

Welcome back sweet Marie....i think it is safe to say that America is in your blood. Boston is a great city with so much of this nations history having occured in the region. I hope you get the chance to visit and tour the USS Constitution, and the USS Cassin Young destroyer and museum, it was a big hi-lite of my visit there. I look forward to more great adventures and your big, beautiful smile soon...i thought our sun was shining brighter and now i know why, Marie is here.❤❤❤❤ from fla usa

Welcome back to America!!!! It makes me so happy to see a young person from another country wanting to learn about our history instead of just coming to America to eat fast food.

Awe! Welcome to Boston!!

So glad to see you visit Boston. One of my favorite U.S. cities and home for 4 years. As an architect, I worked on several of the big buildings downtown, including the one you showed with the large flag, Rowes Wharf. Great sports town.

Welcome Back to The States. Your smile says it all. Take Care & Have Fun!

I’m from Texas and I also need a translator for the Boston Firefighter! 🤣 Wonderful trip! Hope you had a fantastic time.

I'm so glad you got to see Boston! Out of all the large cities i have been too, Boston is my favorite, people there are so kind, the food is amazing, and there is so much to see!

First class looked so awesome. So glad you are enjoying Boston, hope you have fun. Hope you have some nice weather. Stay well and be safe. Mustangs rule!

Welcome! You picked a great week. The weather's been not so great lately, but the days ahead look very spring-like. Hope you enjoy!

Glad you enjoyed your first day. My office is right behind Fanueil Hall so I'm there a lot myself for breakfast. Try Bread O' Life inside Fanueil Hall if you get a chance...great bagels there!

Welcome to my city/state enjoy your time here.

Enjoy! We are just as excited as you when we visit France!

I hope you'll visit Chicago some time, as well as the upper Midwest (Michigan and Wisconsin). World class museums and food and amazing sights.

Welcome back to the US Marie. Love your videos. Best wishes from Florida.

I really enjoyed visiting Boston. I would have moved there (from Virginia), but it was too expensive, so I ended up out in Phoenix, Arizona. But I always do wonder what life would be like if I decided to move to Boston. It's one of my favorite big cities. Glad you're enjoying it too!

You're adorable!.. Don't ever change..

You get extra points for visiting the Massachusetts State House. A lot of visitors don't.

Fun fact, that spot you went to with the very very large American flag hanging always has an Irish flag in it's place around St. Patrick's Day. It's the largest Irish flag in the entire world! Larger than anything you'll find in Ireland! It's to celebrate our very large Irish population.

Always enjoy your travel videos, and your enthusiasm for America: thank you!

Welcome to Massachusetts!

Loved your story and experiences as always Marie )))))

Wow Marie, you made it back to the States just in time for my birthday March 4! Welcome back, I'm so happy for you to get to come back for another adventure. Have fun! ❤️

Bonjour Marie! Glad to see you back in the States! The best thing about Boston is the History. Yes, it's not as old as European cities, but ti's plenty old and has a very rich US History. Teh ships in the harbor with the covers on them...looked like a giant spider had webbed them for later! LOL! Looking forward to your upcoming videos, and I still really hope that you can come to the MidWest this Summer (Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, etc...) Bonne journee! ~Be Blessed

Very enjoyable video. Great job with the editing!

What a wonderful video of Boston. I'm jealous 😃. Your all over this beautiful country which I'll never be able to enjoy. Thank You Marie.

So happy you came to Boston! ❤

That was wicked cute. I grew up just south of the city and having seen all the sights dozens of times, it’s kinda cool to see it through a fresh pair of eyes.

Good to see you again, Marie. I hope you enjoyed your visit to the birthplace of American liberty. We owe so much to France for its success.

I enjoy your videos for the authenticity of you experiencing things new to you. It's like having a friend expierence something commenplace to me as somthing new.

Interesting fact: One of the biggest rivalries in North American professional sports involves the Boston Bruins versus the Montreal Canadiens. And I happen to be a big Montreal Canadiens fan. Though it is considered enemy territory to me, it is a beautiful city nonetheless. Glad you were able to soak it all in. Bon weekend! 🍀🍻

@johnpasquale7095 I wasn't alive when the "too many men on the ice" game took place, but it was certainly one of the greatest chapters in the history of the Habs/Bruins rivalry. One game that I think we can both agree to was game 7 between the Bruins and Leafs, round 1 of the 2013 playoffs. The leafs were up 4-1, only to collapse with 11 minutes left to play and lose 5-4 in OT. That to me was an absolute joy to watch because I absolutely hate the leafs! One of the very rare times that I ever cheered for the Bruins.

very nice, I loved it, and you looked especially beautiful in this episode. Welcome back to the USA. 🙂

Many years ago, in the Midwest, I thought the three American cities I most wanted to visit were New Orleans, San Francisco and Boston. I have seen the first two, now I need to take some time to visit Boston.

Boston always makes me think of that show Ally McBeal from the 90's. Don't know if you got that in France. Or you're probably too young to remember. Great show. Might be a fun watch if you're ever feeling nostalgic about the Northeast.

Boston is great and has the added bonus of being in spitting distance (by American standards) of a lot of great outdoor regions in Vermont and New Hampshire.

Woah, what a surprise to have you back already! You sure looked to be having lots of fun in first class!😂And that hostel looked pretty cool. I can't wait to experience one for the first time.🥳And as always, it's so sweet to hear your love of returning to the states every time.🤗

Excellent, thanks Marie! Have fun!

Hi there from Loveland. Happy your getting your walking in. I can't walk that far anymore. But give me a one speed bicycle and I'll ride everywhere. I'm betting you'll get used to the accent pretty fast. Have fun and remember to "Spring forward" on your watch this Sunday.

Welcome back! We are always happy when you come!

Welcome. Lifelong Bostonian. Enjoy

Frenchie girl my fam and myself are glad to see you back in the u.s.,the northeast is a must in the summertime, and anytime,but you should be in the lower states enjoying the spring weather and fun..enjoy regardless. ..please stay engaged with your vlogs cause my girls are (& myself) are big fans!!!.. be & stay safe miss frenchie

Hi Marie! If I knew you were coming we could have gone to an NHL game at the TD Garden 😀😀

One of my favorite cities! Go to Mike's Pastries in the North End and try the delicious fresh made cannolis.

Some of the heavy Boston accents are hard for even us natives of Massachusetts, let alone visiting from another country lol. Looks like you had a great time! Come on back anytime, we're friendlier than people make us out to be.

I’m a little jealous - Boston is a US city that I have still never been to! (and I’m on the East Coast, only a 7 hour drive away) So much history there - I definitely want to check it out - and to catch a baseball game in Fenway Park!

Nice tour! Too bad you missed Fenway Park!

Marie, it's always good to see you back here in the United States! I always love seeing the things you focus on and it was hilarious hearing your responses as the firefighter was talking. The accent is thick, but there are a lot of places it's actually worse. If you get up into northern New York in the Adirondack Mountains, the accent up there is really difficult for some to understand. The same goes for the Outer Banks islands in North Carolina. I'm glad you can see the history and that you got to go into the capital building. If you ever go to the Capital of Washington State, Olympia, you'll see that they have a nice capital building. All of the marble used in the capital building is from France. They used the marble as ballast as ships returned from France after dropping off supplies for World War One. I hope you get to see all the historical places in Boston. One thing is for certain, we have to find you an awesome Mustang to rent while you're here in the States! It's always good to see you out having fun, and I hope you keep smiling!

Hello to you from Boston and welcome! I enjoyed hearing your early morning thoughts on your arrival to the US again.
