Designed in partnership with MARKS Brandimage, the refreshed lounge features warmer interiors, enhanced privacy, and dedicated areas for dining, relaxation, wellness, and work. Air France says the redesign was inspired by the same philosophy behind its latest La Première cabin: understated luxury and personalized service.

The culinary experience remains a centerpiece of the lounge. Menus have been created by celebrated French chef Alain Ducasse and include dishes such as macaroni with ham and black truffle, seasonal vegetarian offerings, and the chef's signature baba infused with rum or Armagnac. A curated wine and champagne selection is overseen by Air France Head Sommelier Xavier Thuizat.

New relaxation pods equipped with chaise longues, plush pillows, and duvets provide a quiet retreat, while dedicated workspaces cater to business travelers.
As part of the experience, Air France continues its rotating art program, with French artist Jean-Michel Othoniel's "Wonder Block" currently on display.
