MCT for a connection is 60 minutes, thus it is not a "legal" connection and AF (DL) won't rebook onto this. Thus, doing this means having DL issue two tickets such that you will not be connecting, leaving the risk of a misconnect on you.

Bear in mind that DL requires you to be at the gate no later than T-30. Thus, it is impossible for you to timely connect unless your inbound flight is really early. DL will not necessarily cancel you at T-30, but if the flight is overbooked and at risk of oversale, offloading you becomes easy and cheap (no IDB).

Also a bad place to connect. Scheduled departure is 16:50 and there are no later options which get you to CDG.
