Slice the French baguette horizontally into three long, equal layers.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and yellow mustard until evenly combined.
Spread a thin layer of the mayo-mustard mixture on the cut sides of all three baguette layers.
On the bottom layer of the baguette, lay a bed of lettuce leaves evenly.
Top the lettuce with half of the smoked ham slices and half of the roasted pork slices, distributing them evenly.
Add a layer of Swiss cheese slices over the meat.
Place the middle layer of the baguette on top of the cheese and repeat the layering process with the remaining smoked ham, roasted pork, and cheese.
Add a layer of dill pickle slices on top of the final cheese layer to bring a tangy crunch.
Cover with the top layer of the baguette and press gently to bring everything together.
Optionally, use a brush or knife to lightly spread a thin layer of soft butter on the outside surfaces of the baguette for added richness.
Slice the sandwich into 4 equal portions and serve immediately, or wrap tightly in parchment paper to allow the flavors to meld for a cool, refreshing taste.
