Have you also considered skipping Paris and doing something else in the MLE part of the world? India perhaps?
On this note, I'm booked for March at the Conrad Maldives.
Flight from NY to MLE, final leg on Turkish Air (United award, Business Class 60K UA)
4 nights axon7 for 145K Hhonors
hop flight to Colombo (paid, under 150 per person) for 4 more days exploring, elephant orphanage, temples, cup of tea etc.
Flight from colombo to NYC via HK 95K Avios for Cathay Biz.
Just food for thought.
