Air France is getting fancy at its La Premiere lounge at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport’s Terminal 2E, thanks to a new partnership with the Palace of Versailles. The menu and décor have been overhauled with new royal touches.

Lounge chef Teddy Merienne added new dishes, including turbot with Swiss chard, a dish served at exclusive dinner parties at the Ducasse restaurant at the Palace of Versailles. At tea time, the lounge takes inspiration from former Palace of Versailles resident, Marie-Antoinette. The Les Delices de Marie-Antoinette set involves small treats, like marble cake, chocolate chip brioche and, the signature dessert of the Ducasse restaurant, the Louis XIV. Diners can also order coffee or hot chocolate.

Even the tableware has been upgraded to items from the Ancient Royal Manufacture of Limoges, reproduced by Maison Bernardaud, also used at Ducasse at the Palace of Versailles. The space is outfitted with Cuisine de Roi a Versailles cookbooks from chef Alain Ducasse.

The lounge’s décor now has boxed orange trees from the Palace of Versailles botanical collection on display at the entrance. The wine list has been curated by Ducasse.

Relax, Rejuvenate and Heal at StolenTime

At the namesake luxury, 5-star all-inclusive resort in Saint Lucia, the concept of “stolen time” used to be reserved for couples escaping to canoodle, reconnect and perhaps rekindle in sumptuous accommodations during a romantic getaway on the lush Caribbean island. But when StolenTime by Rendezvous rebranded in late 2022 to welcome all adult guests and focus more on wellness, the philosophy expanded to encompass self-reflection, personal growth and enrichment. After all, time is our most precious commodity, one that’s finite and too quickly slips through our grasp; we need to find those moments that matter and make them count.
