So if I were to fly IAD-CDG-CMN I would be unable to buy lounge access?

And it looks like the 772 has the new J seats too! Excellent.

Based on the wording of the terms & conditions linked above, I assume this would be a connection, if the flight to AUH departs from Terminal 2. If it's from another terminal, then it would probably have to be considered an arrival (with no lounge access).

Ethiad lounge
If you are leaving on Ethiad in business, the lounge in Paris is one of the best I have been in...although I have never been in the La Premiere lounge...
Full food service from a menu delivered to your seat, excellent wine selection, wait staff was very attentive.
Nothing like a typical AF lounge experience.

Does anyone have any data points on purchasing > 1 spot in the lounge since they relaxed the 10 day purchasing window discussed earlier in this thread?
- I plan to call and can report back with my own data point as well but am currently waiting to confirm that our friends are ok with the cost.
I'm on an eligible flight from JFK > CDG > OPO (booked on a 772) in August and traveling in a group of 4 and would like to take advantage of this.
Also, my apologies if I missed it in this thread, but what happens if there is an equipment swap from the 772 to a 77W or A380 that has a La Premiere cabin? Would the purchased pass still be eligible? I do not see this outlined in the conditions on the airfrance website.

Thanks for the prompt response. I called this morning and while it seemed like purchasing 4 spots would be an option, I misunderstood the T&C of the offer.
Since we booked the ticket on DL stock the agent explained that even though we are flying AF metal all the way through, it was not eligible to purchase the option. However, the inverse scenario (AF stock on DL metal) would have been eligible.
I will likely call again to see if there is an agent who is willing to provide a different perspective but do not have high hopes given that the rules for this service appear to be strictly adhered to in order to keep this an exclusive experience.
