I understand that we'll have to grab our checked bags, clear immigration, and then check-in ground-side with AF and clear CDG security. My question is: Once we are air-side again, can we access any of the AF Clubs? We have a four hour layover at CDG. I called DL today, and the agent said it will depend on how AF decides to treat us - we may be able to access the club with my Reserve Card - buying a day pass for my wife and daughter. Anyone have any advice?
I had this exact scenario last summer. My husband and I had a Delta One flight from the US to CDG and we had to book a separate flight from CDG to LHR. You do not need to get your bag and check in again. Show your AF confirmations when you check in for your flight at CVG and politely ask them to check it through to LHR. See the link below. I saved the policy to my phone when we checked in for our flight in Boise just in case the ticket agent questioned it. .

If you are booked in Business class on Air France you will have access to the Air France Lounge. I didn't have to show them our Delta One tickets at all. When I booked the flight to LHR I deliberately gave us a 5 hour layover in case we had to go through the scenario you have listed above. It was not necessary.
