Ask a staff who are at the entrance of priority lanes in case it's really tight, they'll let you pass if there is a reason to.

Plenty of flights to LHR by the way, if you miss your connection they'll easily book you and your luggage on the next flight at the transfer desks.
The OP is flying LHR-CDG-BKK, so having lots of flights to LHR would only help on the return trip, if any. For outbound, is there any hope of asking AF to put him/her on an earlier flight to CDG? I would guess no, but it could be worth asking and even trying to get to LHR early and asking before checking luggage. Missing the BKK flight would probably mean a 24 hour delay.
