Superb chain of bakeries across Paris - this one close to The Louvre is the perfect place to pick up a really excellent sandwich for lunch. Either have a picnic in the nearby Palais Royal, or make use of the tables and chairs on the pavement in true Parisian people watching style! 

If you want to get something quick after visiting the Louvres, this delicious bakery has sandwiches. Try also any of their cakes or 'viennoiseries'. My favourite bakery for croissants or pains au chocolat! You will find some everywhere in the city!
