I messaged a friend who has done it a couple of times, but via Brussels not Paris.
He said it was fine and the Brussels luggage people were pretty relaxed about it. His bike wouldn't fit in the scanner but they have it a visual inspection and waved him through. He had taken the forks out but reckoned that he'd put the bars in inefficiently.
I expect Paris or London would be less forgiving, but it looks like it can be done!
