! Yes, you can use the arrivals lounge (provided you have enough time and your flight from the US does not land after 2:00 PM). It is located landside at the end of terminal 2C close to the food court. There are 14 or 15 showers (quite pleasant) and you can have your suit ironed by the staff.

Yes, it does close at 2:00 PM (Originally, it closed around noon). The rationale behind that is that non-connecting passengers can check-in into their hotel room after 2:00 PM and that connecting passengers can use the departures lounges. Posters in this forum have reported showers in the 2F lounges (both 2F1 & 2F2) but I have never used them and cannot give any first hand experience.

The only published restriction is that you're supposed to use the lounge in the terminal your flight departs from. So that means the leg to LYS. If that lounge has showers, you're good to go. Otherwise, to use the lounge in 2F (where you arrive) you need to sweet talk your way past security and past the lounge staff. That may be tricky but it could be worth trying.

Can anybody tell me when the arrival (or departure) lounges open in the morning. In November I'll be flying in F from NRT-CDG, arriving at 4:30am and having to wait three hours for the connection to ZRH. Is a lounge with showers open that early in the morning?

- the arrivals lounge in CDG2C opens at 5:00 AM
- the departures lounge for your flight to ZRH, located in CDG2B (no shower), opens at 5:30 AM
