On arrival in Paris, a La Première rep was waiting in the jet bridge as the door opened. She escorted me down the jet bridge elevator to the tarmac level.
To my ride today, a nice new Jaguar.
About 3 minutes later, we arrived at the lower level of the lounge, where I was waived thru security and then headed up the elevator the one of my favorite lounges anywhere. It was reasonably crowded this morning with passengers waiting to board the mid-morning US departures including the A380 to LAX. I did a some work and then took pics after pretty much everyone had left.
The gorgeous replica of the old Plaza Athenée bar.
OK, now I'm getting hungry.
Since it was mid morning, both Breakfast and Regular menus were available.
The wonderful rest of the day Alain Ducasse menu.
I gave my order to one of the wait staff, picked up Le Figaro and headed for my private dining room.
Showtime, La Première Lounge style.
I started with delicious shrimp caesar salad and a glass of William Fèvre 1er cru Chablis.
Followed by one of my favorites dished on the planet, Alain Ducasse's signature Coquillettes jambon/truffe noir, the amazing mac and cheese pasta with comté, ham and black truffles.
O.M.G. To die for. With a 2nd and 3rd glass of the Chablis and I'm in heaven.
In a noble gesture, I declined dessert. And then changed my mind. Decisions, decisions.
A little more work while I finished my Chablis. The spa and rest area of the lounge.
Four and a half hours passed quickly as it was the perfect amount of time to spend in this wonderful oasis.
