Note if you're flying back to the US, passport control can have long a long line depending on day of week (although it moves pretty well) so plan accordingly.
Yes, intra-EU on Skyteam partners will still allow access for DL STE+ to third-party lounges in economy, while if flying DL metal non-stop back to US, there is no access unless flying D1. Although I believe agents at all these EU outstations are just contract employees who work multiple carriers and may not pay that close attention to the rules and who you are flying. I did once get an invite to third-party lounge at NCE a few years back when flying DL NCE-JFK non-stop in economy after DL had dropped access to the third-party lounges.
