I know I am the eternal pessimist as regards CDG, but I shouldn't risk a 45 minute connection, especially not to a North American flight (and on a route with one flight a day).

I use CDG for domestic flights because it is more convenient for me than ORY but I find that flights are regularly late. Just over a week ago I flew from CDG to NCE and the flight left nearly 25 minutes late, perhaps because it was waiting for connecting passengers. But this then makes the flight late on its return from NCE to CDG. Last Sunday I caught this very same flight back to CDG and, indeed, it was 30 minutes late arriving in NCE from CDG and 25 minutes late departing and arriving back in CDG. Anyone having anything less than a 75 minute connection would have missed their onward flight.

The only good thing I can see about the 11h00 flight from BIQ is that it looks as though the aircraft arrives at 09h50 from Orly, thus leaving ample time for its turn around. Unless it's foggy in Paris, of course......
