Light lunch in Paris
Lots on information is available about Parisian restaurants, but it
concentrates of full meals. Where does one go in Paris for a snack,
such as a light lunch before a large evening meal or a little something
in the evening after a large mid-day meal? Any suggestions?

You may have a light lunch in a lot of cafés, like a salad or a
croque-monsieur (hot sandwich with ham and cheese), or sausages and fries.
You may try a crêpe in Montparnasse or a greek sandwich near St-Michel (rue
de la Huchette)...

Personally, if I'm going to eat "fast food" in Europe, I'd rather it be
something native to the country! (Like the wonderful "stewed" escargots
I've had from a street vendor in Brussels' Grand Place.)

Try chains like Pomme de Pain, which serve a wide variety of sandwiches
quickly and at reasonable prices. The Lina's chain is very good,
although most of its restaurants keep banker's hours. There are also
many "brasseries" that sell sandwiches, albeit not always of good
quality, and many, many places sell sandwiches at take-out windows right
on the street.
The food court at the Louvre is very nice for inexpensive meals where
you can pick and choose what you want. Several shopping centers have
food courts as well.
If you actually eat in a sit-down restaurant, even a brasserie-style
restaurant, it may take an hour or more to finish the meal. And in more
traditional restaurants you can figure on 2-3 hours.
Finally, you can always go to McDonald's or its direct competitor,
Quick.

Some countries don't have native fast food, including France. That's
why McDonald's is more successful in France than anywhere else in the
world.

Most bakeries sell sandwiches to go buy some wine, some cheese, go to a
park and enjoy

There are lots of cafes in most parts of the cities, and their menus are
usually posted outside, so you have check them out to see if there is
anything. Even better, most of them have outdoor seating and you can check
out what is being served. There are also lots of outdoor vendors offering
baguettes and other light lunches. One thing that you can count on is that
you will have no trouble finding places to eat in Paris.

Crepes, panini, sausages, pizza slices, baguette sandwiches, small tartiflettes,
etc, all available on the street in any city, are not fast food?
Damn, they sure seemed instantaneous when i was hungry.

Arguably panini and pizza are not native.
I guess in the mind of the OP the remainder does not come across as fast
food?
