Food for the park advice

Bonjour. I feel like I have boxed myself in on my itinerary. The quandary: We will be at the Catacombs on a Sunday from 5:30 to 6:30. We then are trying to make an 8:00pm cruise that leaves near the Eiffel Tower at 8:00pm. Ideally, I would love to find street food or take out to eat while strolling through the Champ De Mars. But food options near the Catacombs and Champs De Mars seem limited, especially late on a Sunday. Am I missing something. Bonus points for something near the Ecole Militaire end of Champ De Mars. I love street food if that is a viable option but picking up just a Jambon Beurre somewhere would make me equally happy.

How about crepes to go from Les Frères Bretons or any other creperie around the area?

oh I think Galettes would work perfectly. That place shows to be temporarily closed on google and their FB page doesn’t mention anything Maybe just for August? I need a backup plan but if they are open in Sept that would be awesome. Right at a Metro that would work ,for my intentions , superbly.

There are a bunch of Google reviews posted over the pst two weeks. So Google may be wrong.

I am 98% sure that any place in Paris showing as "Temporarily Closed" now is, indeed, closed for August holidays.

I would check back the last week in August or first week of September to see what it says.

Here’s what you are missing: there is an excellent cruise boat company straight up the street from the catacombs at Pont Neuf. I believe the name is Vedettes de Pont Neuf. And you’ll find a ton of places to get something quick to eat right there in the Latin Quarter: kabob sandwiches, merguez sandwiches, Chinese, and more. There’s no need to go back to the ET in the middle of a quiet residential area.
The Catacombs are at Denfert Rochereau and Pont Neuf at the top of Blvd Saint Michel is at Metro Saint Michel. Take the 4 metro or the #38 bus.
