Uh, right. Messed up on that part. You're correct, the green tags are a customs thing and schengen is immigration.
But the OP's bags won't be tagged in this way because the bags are not intra-EU; they're going EU to outside the EU.
But in any case, the OP shouldn't be troubled by them in France.
They likely still will be tagged this way because he's going through france first, which means there's the possibility of having to leave the airport so he'd need them.
