I suppose you are booked on the connections below. The inbound is fine with 3 hours but the outbound at 1:05 is too close for comfort. AF suffer the delusion that the MCTs that they put into the GDSs to get shorter elapsed flying times are realistic. They're not. And if you miss your connection you will see how unhelpful they are at CDG. Unfortunately your only alternative is to overnight at CDG. I hope it goes well but be prepared for the worst and you may get a pleasant surprise!

AF1395 BUD2A CDG2D 1010 1230
AF 080 CDG2E SFO I 1335 1555

AF 085 SFO I CDG2E 1835 1400+1
AF2394 CDG2D BUD2A 1700+1 1910+1

If they've booked you on this one for the inbound, I would try to change it for the one above:
AF 083 SFO I CDG2E 1545 1110+1
AF1994 CDG2D BUD2A 1245+1 1455+1

I had the misfortune to transit this miserable airport quite frequently in the past and it's as said 'Routinely voted one of the worst airports in the world' with good reason.
