Only Premium 1st, not "regular" 1st.

Yes there is, well a Business Lounge anyway - I spotted it the other
day. I notice they've just built a new one at Paris too. It's not
available for people travelling on a Leisure ticket though even if
it's First Class. Similarly, 10 minute check-in times only apply to
full fare passengers and not to Leisure first class ticket holders.

Yes, a pretentiously-decorated place with silly chairs, on the left as
you go into the general waiting area. It is only for passengers with
the right sort of (full price?) first class ticket, not any old first
class ticket.

I think it called something like The Salon. The one in Paris is The
Lounge, and the one in Brussels I've not seen.

Access to the lounges is for silver and gold card carriers, which
you get after accumulating enough points.

You collect points on any type of fare.

There's one in Brussels with sliding doors between it and the
circulation area outside the bar/toilets. Not sure what the rules are,
and I've never used it even when travelling First Class. The problem at
Brussels is they don't usually let you through the ticket barriers early
enough to make use of any of the facilities, especially now they have an
x-ray baggage check. If I had the franchise for the shop or bar I'd be
pretty irritated. No doubt the staff in the First Class lounge rarely
get their peace disturbed.

I've been let into the lounges with some first class tickets [I wasn't
paying!], but not others. I don't have any sort of Eurostar loyalty
card, but I believe they can help get you in.
