I just remembered that I've published a review about this Terminal's Lounge lately, but not about the space itself. Terminal K is one of three traveling hubs constituting Paris' famous Terminal E; K, L or M. Three distinct buildings you'll drop into by chance without any planning ahead.

After passing security check that is located in the middle of this terminal that has a long tube shape, you'll be welcomed by the Hermes boutique before choosing to go left or right. Both ways will end in the tube or more specifically in an alley of gates. I recommend you start with the right side where some boutiques are located then come back to the more interesting part on the left side with a food court, coffee shops and Air France lounge.
 
Some important things to know:
  • Air France lounge is located to your left after passport control in Level -1
  • The food court is on the left, on level 1 (Meza Liza, Le Petit Gourmet, Fusion Wok, Piatto del Gusto)
  • Chanel is preparing to open one of the biggest shops inside an airport
  • Along gate 45, next to Swarovski, is a smokers paradise. A large salon specially designed for the needy
