How long does your layover need to be to leave the airport in Rome? I would recommend a layover of at least 7 hours in Rome (we had 8.5 hours), although an 8+ hour layover in Rome is ideal. Only having a 6 hour layover in Rome might be cutting it a little close.
For international layover flights booked on one airline, two hours is often recommended to make your connection. For international flights on different airlines, the connection time will need to be even greater as you may have to change terminals between the two flights.
Both France and Italy are part of the Schengen Zone - as long as you are flying between these, you will not go through passport control. You will go through passport control when arriving in Paris, and again when leaving Paris and exiting the Schengen Zone.
Be sure immigration officials stamp your passport upon entering the Schengen area and again when you exit. Carry your passport with you when traveling to other countries in the Schengen area in case officials reinstate internal borders without notice.
