If you enter France, you need a Schengen Transit visa (15 days processing time for Indonesian citizens). If you stay airside, your're OK with just the Green Card and a valid passport:

To stay airside, you must follow the signs for "Correspondance" ("flight connections") - do not follow "Sortie-Bagages", which takes you to immigration and baggage reclaim. Also, make sure your bags are checked through.
