A Buckeye in Paris

From Buckeye to Baguette

Welcome to A Buckeye In Paris!

My name is Sarah and I moved to Paris in March 2020, a week before confinement n°1. This little corner of the internet is where you can find my tales of dealing with

the ever-mystic French Administration as well as the latest baking endeavor.

I hail from the great state of Ohio, the buckeye state, and have left everything behind to join my husband (you can read the story here) in baguette country. I would not trade this life for anything! Come along with me as I explore Paris as an expat, bake my American comfort foods, and create a balanced life between French administration and la je ne sais quoi.

I spy with my little eye the #weekend and the Iron I spy with my little eye the #weekend and the Iron Lady! Today is my Friday so I'm even more pumped! Hoping the weather will cooperate, but that's looking a little iffy. ⛅🌦️🌤️ What are you getting into this weekend? Weekends (mainly Sundays since that's the day Thomas and I have off together) chez Latrille are for adventure and discovery. Last weekend we explored around the École Militaire and Saint Germain. Our goal is to branch out and explore and discover more of our Paris together. Excited because Sunday, I booked tickets for @museecarnavalet to see the Bresson exhibit and the newly renovated (5 year project) museum. Also excited to take my @parismusees pass for a spin! Stay tuned for the photo dump that will happen! Bon weekend à tous et à toutes ! 🌻🌞 #weekend #weekendmood #weekendvibes #eiffeltower #toureiffel #gustaveeiffel #grandpalaiséphémère #ecolemilitaire #adventure #discoverparis #decouvrirparis #parismaville #parismonamour #parismood #howtobeparisian #parisfrance #paris #pariscity #parisliving #parisisalwaysagoodidea #paristhroughmyeyes #parisvibes
Lemon 🍋 Blueberry 🫐 Muffin 🧁 A flavor not Lemon 🍋 Blueberry 🫐 Muffin 🧁 A flavor not only perfect for summer, but for all year round. Fresh blueberries when in season and frozen when not, whatever you have access to will always be delicious! This recipe is versatile because it can act as dessert, breakfast or a snack. Jazz it up with a streusel or a glaze and bam! A whole new outlook. Keep this beauty in your back pocket for a whenever day, you'll thank me later. Also, shhhh, but you can switch out the blueberries and lemon zest for a plethora of things... More to come on that later. Instagram : Link in bio.

What is the health passport? The health passport What is the health passport? The health passport is a QR code that shows three possible situations : 1️⃣ Vaccination status. 2️⃣ Results from a recent negative Covid test. 3️⃣ Recent recovery from Covid itself. What do I do with it ? The “passport” is either digital or physical. It comes in the form of a QR code. This code has all the information of your vaccination and/or test results. When you receive your code, you can either keep the piece of paper tucked away safely at the ready or you can flash the code with your phone and upload it to the TousAntiCovid app. If you go the Covid test route, know that the test results are only valid within the application for 48 hours. Then you will need to take another test and upload the new results then. For those of you visiting and have not been vaccinated in France (or the EU), have no fear ! If you are coming from outside the EU ( aka USA or Canada), things are a little tricky. US is on the green list, so you do not need a covid test if you are fully vaccinated for entry into the country. You need only to show your vaccine certificate if you are fully vaccinated (2 weeks after your 2nd shot) : paper or digital format. This will need to be compliant with WHO standards and approved by the EMA (European Medicines Agency). It will contain your name, date, lot number and type of vaccine that was administered. You can get access to the health passport here in France by visiting any place that administers the vaccine and have them give you an equivalent with the presentation of your vaccination certificate. The best to look for is a pharmacy or vaccination center. You should be able to take the information that is on your vaccine certificate, have a pharmacists or center worker put that information into the system, and then be presented with a QR code that you can upload to the TousAntiCovid app if you like. #healthpassport #passsanitaire #covid_19 #newnormal #newrules #pandemic #pandemicliving #parisliving #parisblogger #parisfrance #paris_focus_on #pariscity #americaninparis #expatlife #expatinfrance #expatblogger #buckeyetobaguette #pandemicparis

Happy 4th everyone! 🗽🎆🎉🇺🇸🍻 So I Happy 4th everyone! 🗽🎆🎉🇺🇸🍻 So I didn't think about it in time, because, life, but I didn't have time to plan out a traditional BBQ with my friends here. I wanted to last year, but Covid was a party pooper and messed up plans. This year, I decided to do something different. I took a trip to an American cemetery just a few miles outside of Paris. Have you heard of the Suresnes American Cemetery and Memorial? I just recently discovered it and thought it appropriate to visit on this 4th of July ! There are 1559 american soldiers from WW1 and 24 unknown WW2 soldiers buried in 7.5 acres. The chapel at the back of the property is dedicated to those who died in WW1, but a loggia was added on either side to commemorate each war. The names of those buried within the cemetery are written on the walls. I hope wherever you are, whatever you are doing, that you are safe, health, and content with where you are at. Check my stories for more photos of my visit there. I had the whole place to myself practically the whole time. It pays to go places early on a Sunday. #4thofjuly #july #americanexpat #americaninparis #homeawayfromhome #celebration #holiday #summerholidays #grateful #pariscity #decouvrirparis #paristhroughmyeyes #paristourisme #suresnes #abmc #memorial #ww1 #ww2
