Lion d'Or makes THE best baguettes in Lille. Perhaps in all of France. From the first minute I took a bite of one of their awesome baguette sandwiches, I knew this was the place to beat all others.
Around lunchtime, Lilliois from far and wide queue up outside the doors waiting for their turn to order one of the varied sandwiches. One of my favorites, which almost always was sold out before I even made it there, was the curry chicken. Mmmm... I'm drooling just thinking about it.
But honestly, anything pales in comparison to the bread itself. Crusty and crunchy on the outside, chewy and soft on the inside - this is a true baguette!
