BEST SANDWICH

 

 

Lina's. It is a chain but its sandwiches are the best in the city. You choose what you want and the choice is limitless. It is a great relief from the depressing "jambon-beurre" (ham and butter). One of the best Lina's is the one in the fashion district, near the Place des Victoires. You'll be eating with reporters from Le Figaro, designers and bankers.
