Researching the maze that is Terminal 2E at CDG. We arrive 11:35 am on the AF A380 from SFO in biz, depart 3:45 pm on AF to EDI, also in biz.

I realize there are two "halls" in Terminal 2E connected by an airside tram. In which hall is the Arrivals Lounge? Are we likely to arrive/depart from different lounges?

We have plenty of time between flights, but definitely want to get showers and hopefully a Spa treatment in the Arrivals lounge and strategize when to leave the lounge and get to our departure gate to EDI.

There are actually 3 Concourses in Terminal 2E these days, none of which have an arrivals lounge. There is an arrivals lounge in Terminal 2D, and with a 4 hour connection time shouldn't be an issue, but I've never personally used that lounge so I can't offer any advice on it. Considering you are staying within 2E it is not worth it to go to the arrivals lounge as you will have to go through passport control. all of the lounges in 2E have showers, and I believe 2M and 2K are the concourses with spa treatments. If my memory serves me right most of the flights to the UK leave from 2L though, where the lounge does have showers but does not have a spa or hot food. Someone with more experience flying to the UK can confirm/deny that though.

EDIT: Forgot EDI wasn't in the Schengen area, excuse me.

3 concouses in 2E and yes you may arrive and depart from different concourses (from SFO with the A380, you will arrive at L or M, to EDI you will leave from L or K.

No need to go to arrival lounge for this (and in any case there is no spa there). You can use your departing lounge which has showers, as said by Agremeister.

Correct

The arrival lounge is in 2C, not 2D. Indeed not an issue with 4hrs connection time, but as you said, not really justified IMO.

Correct. Same opinion.

No : L and M.

UK flights leave from K or L. Impossible to know in advance. Specifically for EDI flights, most of my flights have left from K but I had several from L.
K has hot food (at meal times), showers but no spa.
L has no hot food, but has both showers and spa.

Thank you...

So is this an accurate (graphical) summary?

Yes, no mistake

The K lounge also has a spa, unless they closed since my last visit there this summer. It's also the only one where I more or less regularly find free slots for treatments.

Only L and M can accommodate the A380.
L is open all day. M operates only on mornings and early afternoons, bearing special circumstances.
