Unless you want to spend some money in the duty free shops of L concourse, it looks like the best plan :D

Just posted in agentconnect.biz:
At ORY, Hall 3 lounge will be closed from April 4th, 2016 until the end of May for renovation. Champagne and cold sandwiches services are transfered to Hall 4 lounge temporarily.
Hall 4 lounge will close definitely on May 22nd, 2016. Crazy, knowing that this lounge just opened 3 years ago!

I indeed heard that from AF very recently and couldn't believe it. Could this mean that AF is leaving completely hall 4 ? I hope that the closing of hall 4 lounge will coincide with the reopening of the refurbished hall 2 lounge

I have been flying ATL-CDG-PNR then the reverse rout home every 4 weeks for about 6 months now and likely for the next months. 50% of the time on a DL ticket / 50% of the time on a AF ticket. On the occasions I fly in Y, as an ST E+ would I have access to the 2E/M lounge at CDG?

Yes. No problem.

DXB - Skyteam lounge
 

Pictures of the new Skyteam lounge in DXB have just been posted by a new FT member in the Skyteam forum. Looks nice :)

Apparently, the Hall 4 lounge is now accessible from landside as a replacement after Hall 3 lounge closure.

New lounge in MPL coming soon
 

One satellite good news came with the announcement of the launch of La Navette service ORY-MPL : there will be finally a lounge in MPL. Opening : summer 2016.

AZ lounge in VCE closed
 

Tintoretto Lounge in VCE is closed for rénovation until May 1st, 2016.
Marco Polo VIP lounge is accessible as a replacement, under the same conditions as AZ lounge was accessible

I see in the wiki that the Hall 4 lounge will close for good, i know less and less AF flights use Hall 4 (Particularily since Corsica flights have been moved to Hall 1 and 3B due to Hall 4 being mostly closed to allow for building of the connector between Orly Sud/Ouest), but it's still a pity to see it closed, was hoping for the eventual return of Corsica flights to Hall 4... Good news that Hall 3 Lounge is getting renovated though.

I imagine it's open to everyone eligible then? Not just Non-Schengen pax in Hall 3?

I cannot tell, have not experienced it myself.

I believe so, but no personal experience here.

I do think you should get in fine, but i will be flying out of ORY on Friday or Saturday. I'll try getting into the H4 Lounge and i'll report back then :)

JNB lounge closed (permanently?)
 

Here now, and the signs outside have come down - a sheet of A4 paper taped to the door has a printed message advising pax to use the SLOW lounge, and then a handwritten scrawl underneath 'BUSINESS CLASS ONLY'. The lady at the SLOW lounge confirmed this, and also said that they are only accepting AF/KL biz class, and not KQ or DL... not sure what they're supposed to do, and ST elites are SOL. She also said that she believes the closure is permanent.

And after Goldorak had done that informative photo guide....
