Meet cosette

Born and raised in the American Midwest, I made the leap to move to France three years ago. I write about everyday life here—my love of French food, style, and culture, the beautiful places we explore, the realities of learning the language, and practical travel insights for anyone hoping to make the most of their time spent in France.

What began as sharing updates with friends on social media gradually turned into this blog, encouraged by those who wanted more detail than a post could hold. I enjoy contrasting French and American lifestyles, owning our inevitable missteps, celebrating small victories, and highlighting lesser-known places that don’t always make the guidebooks. Above all, this space reflects the process of adapting, integrating, and finding a sense of home in a country that continues to amaze me, and sharing that amazement with you.

Welcome / Bienvenue!
