TORONTO — Air France has unveiled its redesigned La Première lounge at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, further enhancing its premium travel experience with expanded dining, wellness and relaxation facilities, along with exclusive private suites for First Class travellers.

Located in Terminal 2E, the more than 1,000-square-metre lounge has been redesigned to offer greater privacy and comfort, complementing the airline’s exclusive airport experience for La Première customers and its recently introduced onboard La Première suites on select Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.

The project represents the latest phase in Air France’s ongoing investment in its premium product, following the introduction of a revamped La Première airport experience in summer 2024.

ELEVATED DINING EXPERIENCE

One of the centrepieces of the redesigned lounge is its expanded dining area, which now offers more seating while maintaining an intimate atmosphere through full table service.

The lounge, which won Skytrax’s award for Best First Class Lounge Dining in 2025, continues its partnership with celebrated French chef Alain Ducasse and his culinary team. Guests can enjoy signature dishes including coquillettes with ham and black truffle, seasonal vegetarian creations and Alain Ducasse’s renowned rum or Armagnac baba dessert.

The culinary offering is complemented by a curated wine and Champagne selection assembled by Xavier Thuizat, Air France’s head sommelier, featuring grands crus selected in partnership with Alain Ducasse’s team.

COMFORT & WELLNESS

The lounge’s main seating area has also been completely reimagined, with redesigned furnishings that include the iconic Ribbon armchair by French designer Pierre Paulin, alongside armchairs, sofas, alcoves and partitions that create more private spaces throughout the lounge.

Air France has also expanded its wellness offering with a larger Sisley spa. The redesigned spa now includes a second treatment room, allowing more guests to enjoy Sisley’s signature phyto-cosmetology treatments before departure or during connections.

The airline has also introduced a redesigned relaxation area featuring individual private rooms equipped with day beds, duvets and pillows for customers wishing to rest before their flight. A dedicated work area, including a private booth for phone calls and virtual meetings, has also been added.

Upon entering the lounge, guests are welcomed by Air France’s signature fragrance, AF001, created by renowned French perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, artistic director of Maison Francis Kurkdjian.

PRIVATE SUITES & EXCLUSIVITY

For customers seeking even greater privacy, Air France continues to offer its exclusive private suites adjacent to the lounge.

Introduced in summer 2024, the airline now offers three 45-square-metre suites, with two capable of being combined into a larger space upon request.

Each suite includes a separate living room, bedroom with a double bed, bathroom and private outdoor patio, along with curated artwork throughout the space.

Guests are welcomed with Champagne and Sturia caviar upon arrival and can choose to enjoy Alain Ducasse’s La Première dining menu within the privacy of their suite.

The redesigned lounge forms part of Air France’s broader strategy to elevate every stage of the La Première journey, from arrival at the airport through to the onboard experience on its flagship international services.
