Paris, “the City of Light,” is also the city with the most expensive club sandwich in the world, according to a global survey released on May 9 by an online travel service.
Hotels.com said it price-checked club sandwiches at more than 750 hotels in 26 cities in Asia, Europe, North America and South America to help travelers size up the affordability of different national capitals.
The result? Paris topped the list with an average price of US$33.10 (NT$980) for the iconic chicken, bacon, egg, lettuce and mayonnaise sandwich that is a fixture on virtually every hotel restaurant and room-service menu.
Geneva placed second at US$32.56, followed by Oslo at US$30.50. New Delhi was cheapest at US$9.57. “Paris may well be the gastronomic capital of the world, but travelers may be better off sticking to a croque-monsieur,” Hotels.com spokeswoman Alison Couper said in a statement.

被稱為「光之城」的巴黎，也是世界上總匯三明治最昂貴的城市，根據線上旅遊服務公司五月九日公布的全球調查。
Hotels.com表示，該公司調查亞洲、歐洲、北美、南美二十六個城市超過七百五十家旅館的總匯三明治價格，協助旅遊者評估不同國家首都的物價負荷。
結果呢？巴黎（的總匯三明治）以平均三十三點一美元（新台幣九百八十元）的價格位居榜首。這種以雞肉、培根、蛋、萵苣與美乃滋製成的經典三明治，幾乎是每家旅館餐廳與客房服務菜單的固定菜色。
日內瓦以三十二點五六美元排名第二，再來是奧斯陸的三十點五美元，新德里最便宜，只要九點五七美元。Hotels.com發言人庫博在聲明中說：「巴黎是全球美食之都可能毋庸置疑，但旅遊者選擇法式乳酪三明治對荷包可能比較好。」
