Extime CDG Lounge
With only 1h15 to kill I opted for the Extime lounge rather than trek over to T1 to explore the new *A lounge. The Extime lounge is OK with a decent food offering, and it does have windows allowing plane spotting and observing some take-offs.
One annoying feature is the very loud "background" music. I'm not certain if it's always that loud. Combined with the usual loud lounge guest and another watching videos on his phone at full volume it currently is not that relaxing.
As previously noted the lounge is between security and border control. The AC agent said to allow 15 min. or so for border control with priority access. I'll see how this goes.
UPDATE:
Border control is close to the lounge. 15 min from the lounge to the gate should be sufficient most of the time using Access No. 1.
The background music was softened at some point during my stay.
