BriocheDoree is a chain shop which sells sandwiches and pastry items. We had a quick snack at one of its shop along Avenue des Champs-Élysées.

They had different kinds of sandwiches along its display and you choose the sandwich you want and pay for it. For some sandwiches, it is possible to ask them to toast it again.

Had a horseradish sauce sandwich. It was one of the best tasting sandwich and it was "press-toast" on this toaster machine which resembles a pressing machine.

Also bought this creamy apricot crossaint. Find it very creamy and delicious.

This is the machine which toasted our sandwich. The bread is pressed inbetween 2 hot metal plates.


Soon after that we had dinner at Santa Rite italian restaurant near our hotel.
