EDIT: I had not realised that the onward flight was a code-share service operated by EY. Still, you will probably get somebody waiting for you & other connecting passengers in case anything goes terribly wrong but, as others say, better safe than sorry.

This may be the case for SkyTeam, but it could be seriously bad news if a Star Alliance flyer made the assumption that CDG was an easy airport to transfer through and 1hr 5min would be fine. The security line near the gate can be nightmarish and my last trip through, a few weeks ago, the FastTrack line was un-managed and took as long to get through, maybe even longer, than the regular line.

So if your connections are on Star Alliance (Terminal 1), I'd recommend a bit more connection time.
