CDG-DUB planeside baggage check?

I am travelling CDG-DUB RT on AF (though I figure its a regional carrier) the itinerary cites Avro RJ85 and Embraer 190 as the metal used; how restrictive are these planes for carry-on luggage?

I travel with an e-bags hardside spinner ( 22" x 14" x 9") which fits most but the smallest regional carriers in the US

I know the over wing racks on the Avro need to be avoided.

failing that, does AF do plane-side luggage check and return?

thanks

Quite often they collect the bigger c/o luggage items (like yours) at the ramp, load them underneath and re-distribute upon arrival. Nothing to worry about.

Thanks for pointing me to CityJet guidelines

(glad I'm not traveling with a Wedding Cake! :-) )

This is actually part of a larger itinerary (TYS-ATL-AMS-CPH; CPH-CDG-DUB; DUB-CDG-ATL-TYS) and I am hoping to stick with the one carry-on and a business briefcase/backpack.

Plane-side check and retrieve is perfectly fine by me.

I am not averse to checking bags, but this time around, I plan to run in the Dublin Marathon on the 29th, so need to keep my stuff as close to me as possible!

To report: the Avro RJ did use both boarding from the tarmac and planeside luggage check and return; the Embraer 190 did not.
