Of course, this is valid only if you are HBO and have your U2 BP. With only 4 hrs between the 2 flights, you certainly don't have time to go to Paris. Traffic can be horrible and even by train it will take you a while.
Not a lot of quiet spot in 2B I'm afraid, but it all depends how busy the terminal is. For lounges : you won't have access to any AF lounge as you are not connecting on AF. Extime is the only lounge available in 2B/2D but it is before immigration so it means you can't access it if you make your connection airside. It is quite pleasant. But I don't know how much they are charging for a paid access. I saw the 110€ mentioned in another post. Seems very excessive and definitely not worth it, but always possible as everything is crazy nowadays. You can try, no risk but again, you cannot access it staying "completely airside" during your self-transfer.
4 hours is actually not including the formalities, so looking at like maybe 6-8 hours on ground. (I haven't bought the U2 ticket yet so am fairly flexible at this point). But yeah, I don't fancy going all the way to Paris itself, but Roissy seems close - 20 mins by bus? Still not recommended? Browsing the parisaeroport.fr website & I see there's a couple of Prets in 2B so I guess that's always the backup option. I get the slight vibe that 2B is a bit of a LCC terminal though - there doesn't seem to be a lot in 2B...

As an aside, a landside lounge? They're making a mistake
