Croq' Fac

Latin Quarter


Latin Quarter students pack out this sandwicherie (sandwich bar) at lunchtime and for good reason. Delicious, made-to-measure sandwiches embrace dozens of bread types (wraps, ciabatta, panini, bagels, pan bagnat etc) and fillings (the world's your oyster). Arrive before noon to ensure a table – inside or on the people-watching pavement terrace – otherwise you can take away.
