There's also "coupe".
"coupe" is great, I like it. With "tranche", I can't help
thinking about a cake or a pie, even if also applies to bread.
However, "coupe" implies a loss of dimension: we go from 3D to
2D, or from 2D to 1D. It's more like "(cross-)section" in
English.
What do you think ?

I think coupe is really cut (or section as you say), while
tranche is really slice.
