How does it work practicaly? Is there any chance to catch the connecting flight on time withing 45 minutes?

45 minutes at CDG. Make sure you have a backup plan. Seriously.
Last couple of times I went through CDG on a connection (as opposed to terminating), it was the better part of 90 minutes from the time I stepped off the aircraft until I was at the departure gate.
It may be a 3 minute walk between terminals, but you've got to add in the time do deplane, ride the bus, deal with immigration, then security, then find your way to the departure gate (and a possible second round of security).
These days I won't schedule less than 2-1/2 hours for a connection at CDG.
