Arriving on UA to CDG, with connection to Adria Air (also *A) flight later in the morning. I'm a little confused by posts above - can I access *A lounge in T1? Should I consider LH lounge?

It looks like Adria fly out of T1 sat 6, so you'll have access to the *A Lounge and the shower there, as well as the LH lounge behind security.
The LH Senator lounge in CDG did not list shower as an amenity, so I would not count on it.

After arrival I'll go through immigration and can access *A lounge at that point. Or I can keep going to Sat 6, but to get there I have to clear security first? Is that the full on metal detectors, etc., and do I have to go through it regardless? How long would I have to budget to go from *A lounge to a T1-Sat 6 gate?

Thanks - I haven't transited at CDG before (at least not recently), so I'm a bit confused on this.

The LH lounge is downstairs, and not that great, but still better than the gate area. I personally dont like the *A lounge, and since I am usually flying LH or TK use the LH lounge.

It does not list a shower as there is no shower. The SEN and Business lounge have a shared toilet area, with just 2 stalls for women and a handicapped area. (No idea how many stalls for men)

Reviving this old thread to learn the latest. I'm arriving early in the morning next week into CDG on TG and just confirmed I can't get into my AirBnb until 12 noon. Are there still any arrivals lounge options for arriving *A/UA passengers?

You could buy an onward ( refundable ) departure ticket to a Non-Schengen destination, use the Star Alliance Lounge in the transit area, and refund it after you leave the lounge.

If you have the "Meet and greet" which AmEx provides if you book business, they can get you into any lounge

Meet and greet for free? AmEx has never offered this to me on tickets through their International Airlines Program.
BTW the Sheraton is in CDG T2 (not T1) in the center and on top of the rail station. You'd need to get from T1 to T2 to use it, but then from the Sheraton it's easy to take the RER or airport buses into the city.

Let's try this again. There is no such thing as Star Alliance Arrival Lounge,. Some Star Alliance airlines avail arrival lounge to serve their own customers which is not part of the Star Alliance benefit. If you fly TG, you need to check with TG to see if they offer arrival lounge service.

Amex offers free Meet and Assist program for Platinum and Centurion Card holders in certain countries for certain airports (mostly their home airports). Amex cards provide different services based on card issuing country. For example, free Meet and Assist at MNL for Philippines card holders. Perhaps Amex offers it to French card holders at CDG; I don't really know.
