Good point--I'll bet these FA's frequently worked the BRU flights as well as the CDG flights.
Aside from offering excellent service, the CDG-based crews actually spoke French, which must have been nice for the french passengers. For a while my CDG-bound pursers had a strange habit of having the french FA's deliver announcements in English and the americans in French. Maybe to give them practice, but they really butchered la belle langue. Hopefully they've improved since then....
