Looks like the operator updated the narrative of what occurred:

The flight crew of a Gulfstream G550 jet was flying a LOC approach for runway 25 at Paris-Le Bourget Airport when the crew mistook runway 27 as runway 25. Realizing their wrong alignment, they corrected at low altitude. Hit by a crosswind gust the aircraft touched with the left wing a runway edge light on runway 25. A go-around was initiated. The aircraft landed 15 minutes later on runway 25.
I guess after landing routinely on 27, one could forget to swing over if distracted/tired etc.
