Departing from MRS
Will arriving two hours before the flight be enough for a 10 am to CDG in business?
I imagine there will be sky priority check in desks and fast track?

Unless you continue to some destination requiring some special paperwork, I don't see the need to get there so early.

How early would you recommend we arrive? We need to return our car to Hertz, which is going to add a little time.

Of course you may wish to add a risk premium for morning traffic and returning car.

I would arrive 1h15 - 1h30 before. You can go to the lounge (which is nothing to write home about but still OK).

MRS is a fairly small airport that does not require you to be there ages in advance. Car return is straightforward and the walk from the car return to the entrance of Terminal 1B (where AF is located) is just a couple of minutes, if that. 1H15/1H30 as suggested by Goldorak would be more than plenty (and the lounge is definitely not worth arriving early for) unless you have personal reasons to expect delays and complications with your ticket at check-in or the car return.
The only caveat at that time in the morning is potential traffic on the roads from Aix or Marseille (it will be quieter this month but should pick up again in September) but, once at the airport, it should all be very quick.
