More adventures in Tennessee! I went to my first American Wedding! It was so beautiful. I traveled down to Chattanooga to visit the Aquarium and I got to see the gorgeous Smoky Mountains. In Chattanooga, I tried the famous Burger Republic!

So cool . . . You've been to some places I've been . . .
Your videos have such great production value with the camera quality & capture, editing & music !!!
Cet aquarium à Knoxville est très impressionnant! J’observe que Marie s’adapte de plus en plus aux habitudes américaines quand elle visite les États-Unis, parce que c’est la première fois que je l’ai vu prendre la sauce tomate avec les pommes de terre, au lieu de la mayonnaise. La célébration des noces a eu l’air vraiment belle. Félicitations aux jeunes mariés. Bon week-end. À la deuxième partie de la vidéo. À plus.
❤😊
Did you catch the Bouquet?
A great video, and a great dress! Still waiting for you to visit Chicago, which has one of the top art museums in the world (the Art Institute), which has a world class collection of French impressionists!
I'm so glad you have the time to spend time in Tennessee instead of just visiting Nashville for a day or two. I really hope you got the chance to go to Dollywood/Gatlinburg while there. Oh, and I don't know if someone mentioned it in one of your other videos but you keep mentioning it so I figured I'd fill you in. There is a real person who did extraordianry things that was from Tennessee. His legend is almost mythical. His name was Davy Crockett. He fought in some of the indian wars, was a congressman, and fought and died in the Alamo. There is a famous song about him. The first verse is…
Born on a mountain top in Tennessee
Greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so he knew every tree
And killed him a bear when he was only three
Davy, Davy Crockett. King of the wild frontier.
Fess Parker – The Ballad of Davy Crockett (1955) you can hear it at /watch?v=txcRQedoEyY
Pretty dress, Marie. Glad you had a good time at the wedding. Hope you danced the night away.
10:48 This is a Thylacine, otherwise known as the Tasmanian Tiger. Unfortunately this footage is of the last known living specimen.
Finally, you can say you have been to the real south. I am happy because in my opinion you get it.
MMM.. Tater Tots, I must buy some tomorrow! School lunch memories, love them!
Always try to find time to watch your shows. You have great enthusiasm for things, and are fun to watch. Also you should try and wear a nice dress more often, you look stunningly hot like that. Keep on keeping on. Mark.
Hi Marie! I had fun watching this one, since I have visited Tennessee several times, though not the places you showed us here 😊. The state has a lot of natural beauty that I enjoy, and I always love the Smoky Mountains!!! Nashville is actually the only city I have looked around in, but it was a joy to watch you show me things I had never seen before (as you, of course, always do 🤗🧡). Thank you so much for your lovely video and work and sharing and smile while you are doing that 🤗😊! Please do continue to take care wherever you may be in the country 🙏😇. You are privy to the goings on with me right now, and I do believe finally I am going to have some key time to go back, enjoy and take notes on all your recent videos, and FINALLY catch up with my comments (that I have so dearly missed getting to compose 😢😢) 🥰🥰.
I recognized that drive up Lookout Mountain. I’ve driven that route countless times. I made that drive just before the Atlanta snowstorm in 2011. Snow started coming down heavy on my climb up Lookout and I nearly got stuck. Spent the night once I got to the top in Monteagle. The next day it took me 8 hours to go the next 80 miles.
Dress looked good. That meadow with the hanging lights and what I call 'lightning bugs' too. Definitely looked like a scene from a movie.
Yay!! Happy Weekend French Fry 😄 🌄 🇺🇸
The nearby store was old fashionedly quint , so many cool 🍫 snacks , fudge goes way back to Mackinac island where it's still popular today. I've gotta try some of those Dr pepper jellybeans , maybe you heard it's catching up to coke as America's favourite soda.
Superb 🎸 on display , the acoustic one was pretty fire , we've got to see you try your hands at smashing those 🥁 someday.
A magical setting for a wedding 👰 meticulous , now that's southern hospitality they hardly know you & your not family but welcome you to the party 🍾 anyway. It must have been revealing picking up on any differences compared with back home. I've read that having bride's maids( throwing the bouquet) & a best man isn't that traditional in France but do have temoins that can be any age & wear what they please & the children walk down the aisle throwing petals & the caramel cream filled profiteroles for dessert are still popular. It's always more romantic if you celebrate the happy couple riding away on a white horse & carriage. You were beautifully elegant in that dress.
Back on the road , how many Mustangs can you spot. I can't get over how green it is. It's a good idea to have blue stars along the highway as a tribute to the armed forces. It was originally on service flags & by the homes of family's to remember son's & daughters while they were away or sacrificed their lives. It started in new jersey in 44 when 800 dogwood trees were planted as a living memorial along a 5 half mile stretch from mountainside to north plainfield.
Chattanooga has some breathtaking views. So glad you went to aquarium , 🦦 are so much fun , the red fish were something else & our favourite clown 🐠 was back again. What a nice feature getting to immersive yourself 360 in there world. The little turtle was cute , what a character , it's great what they're doing trying to save all the various 🐢 that they can. The sooner the world rid of Plastic waste the better , people need to take better care of the beaches. Lucky you getting to pet a baby 🦈 & it was awesome to be so up close to the 🐊 . I wasn't expecting them to show a Tasmanian tiger , the last one photographed was in 1933 , just recently the Tassie wildlife sanctuary made a partnership with a biotech company to bring them back to life in the near future. The salamander camouflage was impressive. I like that there's a another part of the aquarium with a greenhouse , your getting your money's worth , where would the plants & flowers be without pretty 🦋 to thrive. The octopus 🐙 was amazing , there so smart & unlike anything else , definitely one of the best Aquarium you've been too.
🍔 Republic looked delicious 😋 , it's a new one on me , I don't know if it's that well known outside of Tennessee & it hasn't been around that long but it's got a excellent all American track record. That's a mighty burger adding some jack Daniels honey glaze is a tasty twist & you can't go wrong with crispy onions & rotor tots or fries thrown in , they've got quite a menu to want you coming back for more .
Looking forward to the second part , for anybody else who's visiting go to Ruby lit up falls , raccoon caverns , the nickajack bat cave by kayak , there's a few ghost tours , the valley railroad museum , whisky distillery ( look like you went there ff? ) the coker classic car museum , the sunday market with live music & the large climbing frame downtown.
On a final note I wanted to let you know about Baozi the 🐈 who's in the Guinness book of records for riding a skateboard
Real American light beer by Huck Hogan just been launched , give it a try if you like.
There's also a new film out called the ' the Relentless Patriot ' about brave Artist Scott Lobaido from NYC who paints American flags & somewhat.
& maybe you've been watching Le mans 24 hour Race from onboard Ferrari.
Looks like you've been having a wild & productive week , don't stress out at any airports , I send more money as soon as I can , I'm having to pay vet bills,. Have a peaceful Sunday , take care Marie God bless 🤠 🧡✌️

Such a nice video. The wedding looked wonderful and the aquarium seemed fantastic too. Glad you had a great time.
What surprises me is that a French girl likes a thick and cakey biscuit of sourdough! As opposed to a light and flaky pastry. I prefer a light biscuit with thick gravy. For me, if it is thick and cake like, it should be sweet.
Kansas Grandpa Checking in. I've got a new story coming out on Amazon U.S. in about a week or so. 'When All The Pieces Come Together' It's a good story, a quick read. I'll send you a copy. I don't know how much time you have for reading but maybe some rainy day, Your Videos are fun to watch. The one I want to see is "Your Wedding" some day. I'll dance, right here in the study. Be safe and happy. Marie…
Aww, been there many times. It's a cool place
Something else that's fun to see that's not too far from Nashville is the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama! It was my favorite place to go growing up and even now, though I've moved away. It's the home of Space Camp and has a lot of amazing space artifacts!
Really liked the aquarium. Glad you could get dressed up and go to an American wedding.
Beautiful Marie anywhere , anytime , with anyone . Aquarium is very original and colored..Beautiful Ampoules ,🐢🐢🐢 oh sorry turtles..
I'm from Chattanooga. So glad you got to see my beautiful city.
Wow. What a wedding.
Bonjour Marie! It's great that the weather was good for your visit, and that you had such a good time everywhere. I wish you had shown more of you in the dress, like a fashion model flourish and maybe even a spin, it looked really good on you (and like you said, you don't wear them often.) Thank you for sharing with us! Bonne journee! ~Be Blessed
Marie, I wish could be here in autumn when all that green turns in the most beautiful red, orange and yellow.
Marie consistently personifies (a very French) elegance (even during informal activities while wearing a baseball cap) and a true sense of wonder during her adventures ( even at highway rest stops.)
So glad to see you experiencing some of what my home state has to offer. Tennessee is low-key one of the best states in the US.
Good video Marie. East Tennessee is so beautiful. I'll feed the algorithm monster for you.
I love your enthusiasm for almost everything that you see. It's very sincere. I always look forward to newest travels.
Chicken n dumplings is my favorite at Cracker Barrell too, and love their cheesy hashbrowns for breakfast, and the cooked apples!!! Love to watch you tell us about the wedding and firefiles–your smile is just so big, and your excitement just emanates from every pore! Hope you get to Great Smoky Mountain National Park–an international Biosphere Reserve! If not now, next time to Tennessee, I'd highly recommend it!
I love that in your in my beautiful home state of Tennessee. Those mountains were Smoky but those aren't the Smoky Mountains. That is the Cumberland Plateau where Monteagle is which is part of the Appalachian Plateau. The Smoky Mountains Are in very Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina.
Great Video with beautiful imagery. You looked stunning in your dress and the color was very nice on you!
Cracker Barrell is great. We have them here in orange county California. You were in Nashville!!! That is where my niece is at. She is a country singer. Wish i would have known. At the 7:09 mark. That is unique that truck with all those cars. Not the truck but all those were c8 corvettes with some z06's (i know you probably dont know that just an observation)
REACT TO NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN , MOODY BLUES, LIVE !! You will love it !!
Not to burst your bubble but you did not visit the "Smoky Mountains", you rode up and down a "smokey" mountain. You should make the trip to the Smokies. I know you are doing the National Parks thing as I love all your videos and I love me some Monteagle but Smoky Mountains it isn't. Fun fact about how awesome the actual Smokies are: It is the most visited National Park in the US and it's not even close. Not Yellowstone, not Yosemite or even the Grand Canyon. Over 10 Million people a year visit the Smokies. Hope you get a chance to go and post another great video about it. Keep churning out these great videos!
Wow Tennessee, I have friends living there. To humid
for me. That was an Amazing setting for a wedding. Keep smiling.
You were only 2 hours from us in Alabama. Looks like you had fun.
Cracker Barrel is a classic road trip stop for Americans,. They don't call them The Great Smokie Mountains for nothing, I'm glad you got to experience a real American Wedding.
I have First Bite Syndrome! I didn't really know what it was called until you mentioned it. Thanks!
I play in a wedding band in the south, and I've been to many gorgeous weddings, but that one definitely would have ranked among the top 10 in terms of beauty.
Pretty dress. Good choice ❤
