Thanks for posting this! I have a few additional inputs and some corrections to share.
The previous "La Première" product, introduced around 2008, was installed on several Boeing 777-300ER (4 seats - to be confirmed) and all Airbus A380 (9 seats) aircraft. The Airbus A380 has left the Air France fleet in 2020
The previous LP product was introduced in 2004 with the delivery of the first 777-300ER's (Air France was the launch customer). The 777-300ER contained 8 seats (not 4), and some 777-200's were retrofitted with a single row of four seats. And or course there were 9 seats on the A380 when those were introduced as you mentioned.
In 1995 Air France introduced "Espace 180" and installed on Boeing 777-300ER (8 seats) and Boeing 777-200ER (4 seats?) aircraft
The l'Espace 180 product was introduced in 1995 and was installed on the 747-100 (6 seats - upper deck - dark blue seats), 747-200 (8 seats - upper deck - dark blue seats), 747-400 (13 seats - nose - light gray seats), A340-300 (6 seats - light gray seats), A330-200 (6 seats - light gray seats), 767-300 (5 seats - seat color unknown), and 777-200 (12 seats - light gray seats). This seat was never installed on the 777-300ER.
Prior to that every Air France longhaul aircraft had a First Class cabin. All long haul destinations were served with a First Class cabin. This is a picture from the 1970s' Première Classe onboard the Boeing 747 (this wouldn't even pass for Business Class in 2024!). There have been other product variations in the meantime I presume
There were the dark blue seats first introduced with the introduction of 747 (not sleeper seats), then came the red sleeper seats in the 1980's that you feature in the wiki (personally my favorite!!), and then it appears there was a gray design (still 60 inches of pitch) that was introduced in the early-90s before l'Espace 180.
