Best Croque Monsieur in Paris?
There's nothing quite like a good croque monsieur and I'm planning on having several during my upcoming trip to Paris. While I'm sure I can get a very good one at nearly any cafe in Paris, I was wondering if anyone had stumbled across a particularly good one that they thought was worth mentioning. Merci.

You have it right. Croque Monsieur is available throughout Paris at almost any cafe. It's hard to distinguish them. I've had a good one at Deux Magots across from the St. Germain church, where Descartes is buried. The quality of the mustard counts. Of course it's not on my diet anymore.

It's basically an opened-face ham and cheese sandwich which uses the pain de mie bread (instead of a baguette) and béchamel sauce, topped by shredded gruyère and broiled. Simply delicious...can't say as I've had a bad one ever. Nice for a snack or light meal.

L'ombre de Notre Dame: facing the front of the cathedral, take the street that goes along it on the left. It is, as its name says, in the shadow of the cathedral, and I love love love it!!!!!
