To be blunt, if you can make the connection, your bags can make the connection. If they don't, let them catch up with you and be delivered to your hotel in Paris. Given the generous carry-on allowances, just pack the first few days clothing in that and don't give the bags a second thought.
A very good point...I'm far less worried about our bags making the Paris flight than I am US making the Paris flight!
I imagine a Parisian shopping spree if our bags don't make it when we do, "European Vacation" style (I know they were in Rome when they did their shopping spree, but that was such a classic scene!)
