I've never gotten the buy-up email, I hope I do next time.
If your departure is LHR you do get an escort through security to the Skyteam lounge which has a separate room for La P pax. Then the escort will walk you to the plane when it's ready for take off. So not quite what you get at CDG but it's better than others I've used by far.
