FYI AA was the issuing carrier so dont they have a responsability to make good on the ticket. The full ITN is TXL-CDG (AB) stop CDG-LHR (BA) LHR-MIA (AA).
Honestly, an AF ticket on the 3rd is 118 Euros. Just buy a revenue ticket and ask for AA to give you your miles back for that segment. Any possible itinerary AA is going to book you up (even opening up award inventory) is going to at least triple the length of the trip. Your time is worth something, and this is a bad value miles redemption in the first place.
