Sandwicherie

Right after T1 security, the cold sandwiches start here

This plain “Sandwicherie” in Terminal T1 sits in the post-security zone, in the stretch people hit between the checkpoint and the gates. Think basic grab-and-go: pre-made baguette sandwiches in the €5–€8 range, bottled drinks, and a few packaged snacks. Rating hovers around 3/5, which tracks with the “typical airport stuff” comments you see in Skytrax reviews.

It’s part of Marseille’s quick-sandwich circuit where people grab something fast and then walk to their gate. The logic: spots nearer the gates often clog up during the 06:00–10:00 morning wave and the 17:00–20:00 evening bank, so this early stop lets you skip those lines. Expect mostly cold options in standard French combos like jambon-beurre or poulet-crudités, wrapped and ready in the fridge.

Pricing sits firmly in the single-euro-sign tier for the airport: a basic sandwich plus a small drink usually lands around €9–€11. That said, reviewers still call the food “ridiculously expensive” compared with downtown Marseille boulangeries charging closer to €5 for something fresher. Portions are serviceable for a short hop to Paris, Lyon, or another EU city, but you’ll want more than one item if you’re heading onto a 3+ hour leg.

Common gripes: bread can be dry from sitting in the chiller, and fillings are on the sparse side. If you have to eat here, scan the shelf labels for the latest time-stamp or production sticker and pick whatever was made most recently. Skip anything with lettuce that looks tired; go for ham-and-cheese or straight cheese, which tolerate the cold case better than mayo-heavy options.

Regulars often buy a sandwich here right after T1 security, then walk down toward their actual gate to find a quieter seating area. Smart move: buy at the Sandwicherie, but only open the packaging once you’ve checked the final gate on the departures board in T1 so you don’t end up eating far from your actual boarding area.
