After arriving at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) from Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD), we had some time before our connection to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) (review here). We had to pass through security and immigration before we made it to the Air France Lounge in Terminal 2E, Hall L.
Access
Access is granted to passengers flying in Business Class or La Première on Air France, Flying Blue Gold or Platinum members, SkyTeam premium cabin passengers, and SkyTeam Elite Plus passengers. A same-day boarding pass is required to enter the Air France Lounge.
Anthony’s Take: This lounge is an excellent place to pass some time before a flight. There is a good buffet, Wi-Fi, restrooms, showers, a spa (including a sauna), a kids area, a room for mothers, a rest/quiet are, and plenty of space to relax or work. The design is nice and modern with plenty of seating.
After entering, there are several kiosks to check guest credentials to the left. Agents were seated to the right with an additional one helping guests use the kiosks.

There are several self-serve bar areas with wine, liquor, beer, and soft drinks found around the lounge.
