For European flights its 2 hours.
Sorry but this is not the rule for CDG-US flights.

I cannot say if there is a maximum time, but I have checked my bags as early as 5 hours before my flight, and also the night before (as others pointed out).

A few years ago AF even allowed to drop your bags at Invalides the night before during peak vacation times, which worked really well for me.
