What American words with ou on them came from the French language?

There are very few French words in American, and even less so with "ou". Some may be known, such as "amour", "toujours", and the double "ou" of "Moulin Rouge", but they are not American words. "Bourse", "rouge", "roulette", "route" and "source" are examples of words coming from and identical to French, but most still feel very French, not really American. "Bayou" is another one, although technically it's Cajun, not French. "Poutine" or "caribou" if you live near Canada (again, it's French Canadian). If you mean "came from" not as being identical but just originating from French, there are several more in English, back when the French ruled Britain. For instance, "course" comes from "cours", "gourd" from "gourde". But many more had their "ou" changed to "oo", "oe", or "u", so they don't fit your criteria.
