Unfortunately not. Lounge access is only ever in conjunction with your boarding pass for the flight departing that airport - in this case, a business class boarding pass.

Star Alliance lounge for arrivals with Priority Pass?
Hi, random question. I’m arriving in UA F but self connecting on a different ticket on a non star alliance carrier. I’d like to take a quick shower before my next flight after arriving. Can I get access using my Priority Pass card? I know I would not have access as *G since I’m not departing on a star alliance flight.

You won't get access on arrival as a Star Alliance benefit regardless of cabin class or status. But this lounge does now accept Priority Pass, so perhaps you will just need to show your onward boarding pass in conjunction with you PP card. I believe they don't always accommodate Priority Pass customers if the lounge is busy, so you may just need to check on the day.

How crowded does it usually get in the evenings (19:00-21:00)? What kind of the food items are served?

So to report back, I ended up trying with my PP card but was turned away due to overcrowding. Not a big deal, I’ve used it enough as a departure lounge so I’m not missing much. Just would have been nice to grab a quick shower.

A *A Gold passenger arriving on AC but departing on AF (Economy, no status, Non-Schengen destination) on the same ticket and day will not have any lounge access, correct?

That’s when Priority Pass comes in handy!

PP does NOT work at the Star Alliance lounge but it can be used at other lounges at CDG.

I will be arriving into CDG from IAD on a UA flight at 6:00 AM and was hoping to use the Star Alliance lounge upon arrival. It would be great for a quick shower before picking up my rental car to drive to Belgium. It looks like that option is no longer available with Priority Pass, correct? I am traveling with a *A Gold member, but they only allow access for departing flights.

Are there any other Priority Pass options? The Yotel likely does not accept arriving passengers either. I looked into nearby hotels with day use, but those rates or usually from 10AM to 5PM.

Thanks for any help or advice you guys an can offer.

I have been unable to find any recent reviews for the *A F lounge at CDG. I am flying out on TG (F). Is the lounge worth the experience, since the renovation?

A bit of translation required...broadens my horizons! But I got the gist of it. Looks as if the lounge is worth the visit. And I am looking forward to the daytime TG flight. (I've flown TG F before, but BKK->CDG overnight.)

I just saw a post from two days ago on the PP lounge thread that the *A lounge at CDG T1 is under renovation. Does anyone have any information on that? I am traveling through there in a few weeks.
