The lounge offers unique runway views and an abundance of natural light, thanks to a glass façade running the length of the lounge. It combines modern design with local elements, featuring wall moldings, archways, and black and white photographs of the Eiffel Tower.
Key features include a Welcome Bar offering various beverages, a Wine Bar with wines from master winemaker Gerard Bertrand in the South of France, and a Tea Salon with an assortment from around the world. For business travelers looking for a quieter workspace, private work cabins and secluded nooks are available.
