Class Croute

Triangle sandwiches and salads instead of yet another Burger King

In Terminal T1, Class Croute is the basic French sandwich counter option that shows up in reviews when people are tired of Paul and burgers. It sits airside near the main boarding area, so you can grab something on the walk to your gate. Expect a price tier of $ by airport standards: simple sandwiches, salads, and drinks that still cost more than a city boulangerie but less than a sit‑down meal in Marseille.

The menu leans on prepackaged cold food: triangle sandwiches, baguette sandwiches, and boxed salads. One Google reviewer summed it up as “perfectly OK but nothing like what you get in town,” which is about right for a 3‑star spot. Portion sizes are standard French snack level, not US‑style oversized, so plan on one sandwich plus a drink, or a salad plus a dessert, if you need a real meal before a Schengen hop.

Compared with Burger King in T1, Class Croute gets mentioned for having at least a few lighter picks: salads, cold chicken or ham sandwiches, maybe a veggie option depending on the day. Several reviews, though, complain about “industrial” or “tasteless” bread and fillings, and about airport‑level pricing on very basic items. Figure on paying the same or slightly more than you would at Paul, with less character.

Because most items are prewrapped, service is fast: grab, pay, go in under 5 minutes when there’s no line. Regulars say they buy a packaged sandwich here just before boarding to avoid airline buy‑on‑board charges on carriers out of T1. The tradeoff is quality that swings from acceptable to bland, depending on how long things have been in the fridge.

Tip: check packaging dates and visually scan the sandwiches; pick one with the freshest bread you see, then carry it to your gate instead of eating in the generic seating area nearby.
