"Sandwich" is certainly one of those words.
Sandwichs, to use the French plural (no "e" before the "s") are very common here but they are almost always made on split baguettes rather than sliced bread:

They are made and served in virtually every bakery and cafe, usually for less than 5 euros ($6.50) apiece. "Sandwichs" are not luxury or exotic items by any stretch of the imagination.
Still, nearly every bakery sells them in specially labeled bags just in case you might not understand what's inside:
