Back in my day (2000-2006) of extensive AF travel for a large french bank, the status printed on my boarding card (separate from FP Rouge status I had) was VIP. I believe that was the 'offer' for large corporations flying AF back in the day. Not sure what it gave me exactly (nothing like limo service for example) but I did have AF staff run after me out the door at CDG after I was IDBed by a rookie desk agent at check-in to drive me to the plane once
