Why? If you credit to FlyingBlue you better have them on CZ codes. Because, but correct me if wrong, on CZ tickets with CZ numbers these credit still the old fashioned way :-) = MANY MILES
and, BlueBizz doesn't matter CZ is now partner too and should credit on this tix 210 euro back

Never thought about that, I don't collect FB miles normally, but have started an orphan account for a few EY J tickets I had that were under AF codes so building up a nice little stash. Is it worth it for a non-elite to do it this way? Not familiar with the FB program very much.
Under the new scheme, the same itinerary (again with TUN-CDG legs coded as AF Z class and the rest coded as CZ I class) will earn 13K miles, However, with all the legs coded AF and a price of €777 all in, this would earn a miserable 2750 award miles. If all the legs were coded CZ I-class, it would earn approx 15.5K miles under the new scheme.
So, if you are doing this after March, you will earn approx 13K Flying Blue award miles (compared to approx 18K miles now). You may want to check whether you would not be better off crediting to Delta SM (or another Skyteam programme if you are member of another).
NB: all the figures in this post assume no status in FB (=ivory) and are approximate. The figures are different if elite but also starkly unfavourable under the new programme for cheap AF/KL-coded+ticketed flights.

Did you try matrix in combination with powertools? It should give you a direct momondo or delta link, both work. If you give some dates I will try to find a working OTA.

Hm, strange, Matrix actually showed the price for 23-28 in the calendar but it's gone when going to the specific dates, can't replicate it. According to the fare rules it shouldn't be possible as there is a minimum 6-days stay.
You could try to meet the requirement by adding a long stopover in CDG and put the last segment days/weeks later.
And it seems there is no I inventory for CDG-CAN; the tickets that leave on the 23rd all have a 14+ hours stopover in CDG.
There is more availability in the dates around it, how flexible are you?

That's one possibility, make sure you select business, somehow the link automatically goes to economy. 730 euro - few different times, and a choice between carrier (suggest taking AF B787 on the way back).
