Before 5am there isn't too much traffic, so I don't think it will be an issue. Figure around 45 minutes from La Defense to the airport. Thus, if you leave around 4:15-4:30am (for a 7am flight) you should be fine. 2F is much more efficient than terminal one, and you won't have to go through passport control since Italy and France are both Schengen. One note, you should have a printout of your itinerary or your ticket with you. I believe that 2F is one of those terminals that requires you to show your ticket before you can get your boarding pass, even if you have electronic tickets.

I usually just catch a taxi outside the terminal, they have taxi queue's there. Never had a problem.
