Air France unveils its new La Première lounge at Paris-Charles de Gaulle
Located in Terminal 2E at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Air France’s La Première lounge embodies the promise of an exclusive experience: from arrival at the airport to the gourmet dining area, and from the relaxation zones to the workspaces, every stage is designed to be a special moment.
The MARKS Brandimage agency oversaw the redesign of this space, covering more than 1,000 m², which was conceived to complement the new La Première journey through the airport and the latest suites introduced on board a selection of Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. Every detail, from the décor to the materials used, has been meticulously considered and contributes to creating an atmosphere that is as soothing and refined as possible.
The La Première lounge: the promise of an exceptional experience
The company’s signature scent is the work of Francis Kurkdjian, a renowned French perfumer and artistic director of the eponymous house.
The dining area, meanwhile, has been completely redesigned with more tables, in a setting that blends a refined dining room with an intimate atmosphere. The lounge celebrates the very best of French haute cuisine through a menu devised by Alain Ducasse and his teams, served at the table. Guests will be able to enjoy, amongst other things, the chef’s signature ham and black truffle coquillettes, delicious vegetarian creations, as well as iconic desserts such as rum or Armagnac baba. The food and wine and champagne pairings have been created under the guidance of Xavier Thuizat, Air France’s Head Sommelier, complemented by fine wines carefully selected by Alain Ducasse’s teams.
The furnishings are equally impressive, harmoniously completing this atmosphere where comfort and elegance reign supreme. Spacious armchairs and cosy sofas invite you to relax and enjoy a timeless break. It’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in the airline’s world by discovering a selection of posters illustrating the richness of its heritage.
Two treatment rooms by Sisley, the pioneering French brand in phytocosmetology, round off this experience. Passengers can choose their treatments according to their preferences and the time they have available. Continuing the wellness theme, the relaxation area has been redesigned as a true haven of calm within the lounge, thanks to new individual treatment rooms equipped with chaise longues, duvets and soft headrests.
A new workspace, featuring a booth where guests can make calls or hold private conversations, rounds off the range of services on offer.
Three suites, each measuring nearly 45 m², are also available for guests to enjoy a break before a flight or whilst waiting for a connecting flight.
Each suite, adorned with works of art, features a spacious lounge, a bedroom with a double bed, a bathroom and an outdoor patio. A true taste of the Parisian lifestyle, where Sturia champagne and caviar also take centre stage to round off the experience.
