Transfer time in CDG?

I will be traveling from Marseille to ATL via CDG on October 5 and DL is showing flight AF 8363 connecting to DL 21 with a 65 minute connection time. Last time I was in CDG...about six years ago...I had to literally run between my AF flights to make my connection and they were closing the door when I got there. I remember having to change terminals and go through two lengthy security screenings back then.

Was wanting a little longer layover to try the AF Lounge but that doesn't seem to be in the cards. I am Platinum and Sky Club member so was hoping I could get into the lounge to try it out but that obviously won't be possible with this routing. And, I refuse to take a longer layover that would put me on an AF flight to ATL with rows of 10 seats in coach. I have had the rudest flight attendants of my life on those flights in the past and elite status doesn't mean a thing to them for the most basic of courtesies.

Now back to my question: Is this a workable connection between the two airlines or am I just asking for trouble?
