CDG 2E Lounge Shower Question

Quick question - does AF provide toiletries when using the showers in the 2E lounges, or do I need to bring my own? Specifically, razor/cream and deodorant.

Searched the forum, but information here is several years old, and sounds like over the years this has changed, so asking for more current data.

TIA
Matt

There is a kit provided (with a small perfume if I'm not mistaken but no deodorant).

Indeed. Razor, shaving cream, toothbrush and toothpaste are provided but no deodorant.

Just a side note, if your transit is in the early mornings, there could be a long queue for the showers. Earlier in the year the queue was 2 hours for me, and I ended up not being able to take one before catching my onward flight.

And no washcloth, if that's your thing when showering. It is for me. Yes, you can use part of the hand towel, but not as convenient.

I'll be there on Christmas Day so not so worried about lines, but do hope someone will be staffing the spa . . .

Good to know!

Thanks again to all for the info.

I'm flying into 2E. Should I risk going to landside and use the arrival lounge at 2C or just use the shower in 2E?

I guess that would depend on several factors:

1) are you connecting beyond Paris?

2) if so, how much time between flights? And what is your departure terminal?

3) if not, are you arriving before 2pm(arrival lounge closing)?

4) and, finally, are you in J? If not, a shower will cost at least 25 Euros.

So, that seems to be a permanent issue. Recently, I visited the 2E-L and -M lounges multiple times during morning hours and 1.5-2h in the lounge was never enough time to take a shower, due to the long queue.
Once even on a Sunday morning.

1) I'm connecting to HKG, but have a 15hr layover, so plan on visiting Paris.

2) I arrive at 8am in 2E and depart at 11:30pm

3) Yes

4) I'm flying PE into CDG and departing in J.

Last week I used the shower in one of the 2F lounges. There was no wait at all (late morning) and they did give me the toiletry kit. The shower was adequate, with only a tiny bench for dressing. The shower room also had a sink but no toilet.
