Too bad it’s not new rules, 15XP instead of 2x5 :-)
You could still invoke “credit as originally ticketed” rule.

Even if holding tickets to a cancelled flight, you’d still hadn’t won. ATC strikes are force majeure, for example. AF could argue a general strike was out of its control

Lots of lights will try not to go over France, but the surrounding air space will be saturated.
Not sure how typical it is, but my FCO-AMS flight missed France completely, going as far east as Innsbruck and up Germany.
