No offence, but I cannot see how you possibly made this statement. On my last departure from CDG, I used the business class lounge (the down escalator one, I believe in Hall C), which I found to be far superior to CRC's and better than the BizElite lounges in JFK/ATL. There was a huge variety of snacks (little sandwitches, cookies, chips, etc) that was better than the small snacks put out by DL in their BizElite lounges (if you're there at the right time), and obviously the AF selection was far better than snack mix at the CRC. In addition, the drink selections at the AF business lounge (wines at least) were much better than CRCs.

On the discussion about gaining entry, I was a PM traveling Business on AF with a DL issued ticket. I handed the lounge agent my PM card and ticket. She immediately said, "You know only one of those is required to gain access." (Said almost in a rude way, but at least she knew the rules!) I also had two additional guests with me traveling in economy whom she allowed into the lounge. She said that if the lounge became full, she would request that one of my guests leave. LOL That fortunately never happened though, of course.
