Summer is a time that fosters creativity for Air France. The airline has indeed just unveiled its lounge La Première Revisited at Paris-Charles de Gaulle. The airline has once again aimed to move upmarket in order to offer its customers even more privacy and comfort.
The lounge also integrates into the company's philosophy: offering an intimate journey for its La Première passengers, completely disconnecting them from the flow of other passengers at the airport.
Located at Terminal 2E of Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Air France's La Première lounge embodies an exclusive experience, designed to offer the finest definition of travel, from the moment you arrive at the airport. A gastronomic dining table, dedicated areas for rest, pampering, or work: everything is designed to make every moment a privileged one.
Redesigned by Air France teams in collaboration with the MARKS Brandimage agency, the La Première lounge spans over 1,000 m², offering a gentle, hushed, and refined atmosphere due to numerous – and discreet – touches of design and architecture.
Olfactory, culinary and well-being sensations
It even begins with different olfactory sensations at the entrance to the lounge. The space indeed emanates a light interior perfume, named AF001, imagined by Francis Kurkdjian, the renowned French perfumer from the Maison of the same name.
At the heart of the lounge, the dining area reinvents itself with more tables, in a setting halfway between a refined dining room and an intimate haven. Warmer and brighter, it offers each guest table service dining.
Awarded by the Skytrax first prize For its first-class lounge gastronomic offering in 2025, you can savour the best of French haute cuisine through a menu designed by Alain Ducasse and his teams. At this prestigious table, you can discover the chef's famous ham and black truffle coquillettes, delicious vegetarian creations, as well as the rum or Armagnac baba, emblematic of Monte-Carlo. These dishes are paired with a wine and champagne list curated by Xavier Thuizat, Air France's Head Sommelier, enhanced by fine wines carefully selected by Alain Ducasse's teams.
Completely revised, the furniture blends comfort and elegance, notably featuring the Ribbon armchair, an iconic piece by French designer Pierre Paulin. Generous armchairs, welcoming sofas, alcoves, and screens structure the space to offer everyone a haven of tranquillity, in a hushed and refined setting. The company's universe is also reflected here through a selection of posters illustrating the richness of its heritage.
The lounge also features an expanded Sisley care area, a pioneer in phyto-cosmetology. To further enhance this well-being experience, a second treatment room is now available. Whether before a day or night flight, or during a layover, this Sisley La Première space offers all the expertise of the House to clients, through a selection of treatments tailored to the time available before departure.
The relaxation area has also been redesigned as a true haven of calm within the lounge. New individual cabins equipped with recliners, duvets, and plush pillows invite guests to unwind, in an environment designed as a refuge. A new workspace, featuring a cabin for making calls or holding private conversations, completes the range of services on offer.
Private suites adjoining the lounge
Every six months, within the La Première lounge, Air France displays a work of art by a renowned artist. To celebrate the reopening of the premises, customers can now discover a "Wonder Block" signed by Jean-Michel Othoniel. The French artist has specially created a monolith in amber and Indian rose tones.
To enjoy complete privacy before travelling or during a stopover, La Première customers can opt to book true suites of almost 45 m² each, adjoining the lounge. Inaugurated in summer 2024, three suites are available, including two that can be connected on request.
Each suite features a spacious living room, a double bedroom, a bathroom, and a comfortable outdoor patio. Works of art are also displayed there. Upon arrival, guests are greeted with an offer of champagne and caviar from Sturia. Designed as true havens, these suites also allow for dining in complete privacy, with a menu conceived by Alain Ducasse and his teams for the La Première lounge.
A totally unique, luxurious and intimate pre-flight experience, a hallmark of Air France's La Première, vintage 2026...
