You'll get a ton of different opinions but for me no, I wouldn't take the chance. CDG is a crazy busy place and even if your flight arrived on time you'd still have another 20 minutes to get off the plane before finding and walking to your next gate. I always play it safe and go with 2 hour minimums.
Yes, you can receive compensation if you missed your connection because of a flight delay with Air France. There are, however, certain conditions that determine whether you're eligible or not. Your tickets must have been bought together and be under the same reservation number (also known as booking number or PNR).
AF will automatically rebook you on the next available flight to your destination which may or may not be the next scheduled flight. Effectively, there is nothing that you can do until you arrive at CDG.

Don't waste your time in Paris by standing in ticket lines when you don't have to. Skip-the-line (also called fast-track or priority or reserved entry) tickets that let you book a specific date/time slot are almost always worth getting and are easy to buy online before you travel.
The recommended layover time for domestic flights is normally one hour. However, as previously stated, you may require longer if your flights are booked with two different airlines, if you are traveling to a very busy airport or if you require special assistance.
If a delay in your first flight is the reason you're missing your connection, don't worry too much. Usually, most airlines will rebook you on the next flight, and that too for free. Although, you might have to fly on standby depending on seat availability.
You'll need to clear customs and immigration. Next, you'll recheck your luggage for the domestic flight. Finally, you'll need to go through Transportation Security Administration screening. This may include a physical inspection of your luggage and personal items with a metal detector or a full-body scan.
Whether it's terminal 1, 2 or 3 you'll pass through passport control and customs. If you leave the aircraft in the first group of passengers you should expect to get through immigration fairly quickly but allow yourself anything from 10 mins to 1hour.
While, generally, the airline won't wait for connecting passengers, there might be some exceptions. If a flight is delayed, and there are many passengers who are connecting from this delayed flight onto the same connecting flight, the airline will hold the connecting flight for these passengers.
If there's a flight delay and you miss your connecting flight, the marketing airline is responsible for booking you into the next available flight for free. It's the airline you've bought your flight from. You should contact the airline you made the booking from.
If your itinerary was purchased as one ticket (as in: you have only one itinerary and one confirmation number), and the connection time was too short and you miss the second (or third) flight, you can rest easy, no matter what happens. The airline will simply put you onto the next available flight, free of charge.
