I suppose "reasonable" varies pretty widely around here. Last summer I grabbed a r/t SFO-CDG-IST DL fare (on AF metal) that was <$1400.
Flew over on AF's A380 and A320. The TATL segment doesn't have a lie-flat seat and the domestic leg is just an economy seat with good food. Not bad but not fantastic. I'd probably only pay more to fly on AF's new business class. DL/KLM metal might be more appealing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

The KLM seat on the TATL was nicer, of course, but AF beat it out in every other way. The food and service and lounges and just about everything else on KL left a lot to be desired. And Air France really impressed me in every way except the seat.

I'm thinking the low end way to do this is to fly AF J and pay up for the fancy lounge instead 
While we're scheming for AF F, is it possible to include it in a Skyteam RTW?

It's also a limited number of such offers and not cheap. You can't just show up at the door of the AF La Premiere lounge at CDG with your credit card.

It certainly is not cheap but it's the lowest price I have seen from the west coast to europe in (new) first. And includes a lot of quality time in the fantastic cdg first salon

Choose another city. This can be had for ~$4,500 if you fly from OAK to most cities in Scandinavia - CPH/OSL/ARN/etc.
