I've done it only once in French (non-native French speaker) a long time ago with a small ATC unit, and then it was 'by the (french) book': 1001 unité zéro zéro unité / 1011 unité zéro unité unité. But wouldn't be surprised that at busy CDG the faster and less tongue breaking 'mille et un' / 'mille et onze' are used
