Try a Croque-Madame.

Beware, however that both Croque have tomatoes in them.  Also, they are
most often done on an open face baguette, which will definitely go very far
from grilled cheese sandwich the guy is gonna know/like.

Alternatively, tell him to get a life and explore his chances to get great
food in France, and not make a shmuck of himself by insisting to eat
American when out of the US...  My opinion, YMMV...
