I am pretty sure that at CDG still it would be the embassy-issued waiver/passport-replacing document and not the passport card that allowed the airline to board a passenger in such circumstances.
GU read my note: I used the passport card and a receipt signed by the concierge of the Ritz who reported the loss to the embassy. Will admit, probably helped that I am diamond and 4 million mile Delta and fly that route 2 - 3 times a month
