It's called "Acces no. 1" (in French) and lets you cut the line at immigration and security. You may or may not be given a paper pass - that's irrelevant, because
your boarding pass will be coded with the right information. Look for "Acces no. 1" signs and scan your BP at the gates to cut the line. Note: if your wife is not on the same itinerary, she won't have access - ask the checkin agent if needed. If she is, she should inherit your status.

It's
inside passport control, and outside security. Check out loungereview.com for every possible detail about the lounge:

Yes. The rule is crystal clear.

All security is at the gate; you'll need to leave the lounge a bit early although the security lanes have been reconfigured and the whole process is much smoother than it used to be 6+ months ago.
