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.
