If you really use your imagination, and you are hungry, the top of a well prepared Croque-Monsieur looks a bit like this chair back at one of Nice’s best people watching cafes. Le Grand Cafe de Lyon is far enough up Medicin that even when there are tourists there, there is always lots of room for the loyal locals. And, on the snack menu, a very fine Croque-Monsieur, the sandwich invented about 100 years ago with bread, ham and a golden, crusty toasted layer of Gruyere. This place does it right. Cafe Noissette, friendly service and a welcoming ambience. The chairs are comfortable, too.
