In France, there are three types of restaurants: bistro, brasserie, and grand restaurant. The bistro is a casual dining experience, which sells a few food items; a Brasserie is a step-up with uniformed staff, printed menu and a bigger food selection, ; a grand restaurant is what most people would consider "fancy dining". Brasserie Lipp was founded in 1880 and caters to artist, intellectuals and other celebrities.
Roland Garros was an aviator in the First World War (1914-1918). The stadium where the tennis tournament known as the French Open is held, is named in his honor.
A croque monsieur is a hot sandwich made with ham and cheese. The name comes from the French words croque ("crunch") and monsieur ("gentleman"), where ham allegedly has the consistency of human flesh. A croque madame, on the other hand is simply a croque monsieur with a poached or fried egg on top. The difference between the two sandwiches has to do with how the egg is incorporated into the rest of the ingredients: In a croque monsieur, the bread is dipped into the beaten egg before it's cooked (French toast-style).
