It would be interesting to know what the reason was, as it would have to be a seriously good one to reject the landing after reverser deployment. As AF is an EASA operation, they should have done a...

Based on the approach speed alone I would think you are looking at a serious amount of runway required. There was a headwind but ISA+10/15 at 5500AMSL is going to add all that back in plus a bit. To...
