Asia: YVR-PEK outbound, PEK-CDG(stop)-YVR return; 140K roundtrip

Is it a round trip with stopover to Europe or is it a round trip with stopover from Asia? Are these permissible routings via the Pacific then the Atlantic? I cannot get the website to price it; I get an error message.

Thank you for any assistance.
My recollection is that crossing both Atlantic and Pacific is not permitted as a round-trip award. It is considered an "around-the-world" routing.
