Thanks for all your replies. I used the IATA TIMATIC tool you supplied, JDiver, and it says he'll be fine as far as being able to fly. I didn't know about that tool, so I thank you for that.
I also am going to do as others suggest and get him an EasyJet ticket to Paris for $50. Fairly cheap insurance, and he'll enjoy visiting the City of Light for the first time in any case.
