Salon Paul MaxenceParis Airport (CDG)
★3.7(90,014 reviews)CDG · Terminal 2A/2C · airside
A Parisian-apartment pay-in salon in Terminal 2A, by Studio MHNA.
Salon Paul Maxence is a pay-in lounge at Paris Charles de Gaulle's Terminal 2A, and a deliberate departure from the look of a typical airport contract lounge. Designed by the renowned architectural firm Studio MHNA, its warm and inviting decor evokes the splendour and elegance of a traditional Parisian apartment, complete with a fireplace, bookcases, intimate alcoves, designer light fixtures, and curated art and furniture. The result is a lounge with genuine character — a calm, residential atmosphere where you can settle into an alcove with a drink rather than perch in a standard buffet hall. As a pay-in salon it offers a way into a stylish lounge without airline status, making it a strong choice for travellers leaving from Terminal 2A who want something more memorable than the usual airside space.
Crowding · moderate
A pleasant, quiet place to work before a flight, with Wi-Fi, power and calm alcoves for laptop use. The residential setting suits focused email and light work over long sessions.
A food and drink offering to match the refined setting, with light dishes and bites alongside wines, Champagne, spirits and soft drinks plus coffee and tea. A pleasant spread to enjoy in one of the lounge's intimate alcoves.
