Routes that do not have fuel surcharges (YQ) when operated by carriers that normally charge YQ:
1. USA-Germany-Other country. If only the Germany-other country segment is on LH it does not have YQ. E.g. DFW-FRA-BLR with TATL on UA and FRA-BLR on LH.
2. USA-Canada-Other country. The USA-Canada segment on AC does not have YQ if the Canada-Other country segment is operated by a carrier that does not charge YQ. E.g. DFW-YYZ-ADD.

We talked about it last night and our trip is to focus on France, so we might try Lufthansa - Vancouver - Frankfurt - Marseille and then Paris - Frankfurt - Vancouver. Gets us where we want to be and no AC metal

There will always be a next time.
So am I correct to understand that the taxes and fees are not that high on LH metal? How does one book that, through aeroplan or * Alliance?

You book it through Aeroplan as a Star Alliance reward. You don't have to state such because, as long as you have 1 segment on non-AC metal, it automatically becomes a Star Alliance reward.
You might "compare" what others have stated for taxes on a similar itin. The change fee is only $90 (I think). You have to decide if it's worth it as you'll be taking a circuitous route. Of course, you could expand your jaunt and include up to 2 more stops, in addition to LHR.

Not exactly the price I wanted however I tried maybe 6 routes 3 agents all carried out manual calculations which I suspect brought the cost up.
In any respect I basically booked what I would class as RTW in J 4 weeks out till departure for $443.63.
YUL/LHR - AC J - Stop
LHR/BKK -TG J
BKK/SIN - TG J - Stop
SIN/BNE - SQ J - Stop - POT
BNE/AKL - AIRNZ J
AKL/LAX - AIRNZ J - Stop - 18 Hours
LAX/YUL - AC J
