According to the AF electronic timetable, your connection time at CDG will be 85 min, not 75 min. Admittedly the 2B to 2E connection is not ideal but I've managed to make it in 45 min once before.

Yes, this flight like many other flights to US cities that are served only once a day (SFO, PHL, SEA) has a rather poor on-time arrival performance. I would be more worried by my connection in JFK than in CDG.
