I was looking forward to one of my favorite pre-flight rituals at Paris Charles de Gaulle: a sauna in the Air France Lounge in Terminal 2E, Hall L. Instead, I discovered that the sauna is gone for good, apparently because some passengers could not behave themselves.

Air France Permanently Closes Sauna In Paris Lounge After Passengers Misbehave

I have long considered the sauna in the Air France Lounge in Terminal 2E, Hall L one of the most unique amenities in any business class lounge. I first reviewed the sauna in 2020, later compared it to the Finnair sauna in Helsinki, and more recently returned with Augustine for another visit.

It was a great setup: a private changing room, an enormous walk-in shower, and a wood-paneled sauna large enough for several people, though the entire suite was reserved for one party at a time.

On my latest visit, I headed toward the shower area expecting to sweat for 20 minutes before my flight.

But something was immediately different: the sauna signs were gone.

This was last year:

I asked the shower attendant what had happened. Her English was limited, but her answer was perfectly clear:

“Finished. Finished.”

Not the answer I was hoping for…

Why Did Air France Close The Sauna?

I went back to the entrance and asked one of the lounge managers whether the closure was temporary.

No.

He explained, as delicately as possible, that passengers had been “doing things in there that they should not have” and Air France ultimately decided to close the sauna permanently.

I asked him to clarify and he gave me a look that made further clarification unnecessary.

Oh.

The shower suite and sauna were certainly large enough for all sorts of extracurricular activity, but apparently some guests forgot that this was an airport lounge rather than a private hotel room.

I suppose the cleaning staff eventually grew tired of discovering exactly what had been going on in there. Or, to put it another way, apparently a few passengers could not keep their wood to themselves, and now the rest of us have lost the wood-paneled sauna.

Thanks, guys.

Air France’s current description of the Hall L lounge lists showers and Clarins treatments among the amenities, but no longer mentions a sauna, so there is little doubt this is permanent…
