At Paris CDG, SAS flies out of 2B, and according to reports in the AF/KL forums say they haven't yet made an agreement with the only lounge (Extime) there, so that's also something worth noting when flying in the IST->HEL direction, given that you won't be able to access any of the terminals with an Air France lounge when arriving from IST at 2E (given you can't go airside there) and heading to 2B...
