Yeah but AC already has a joint venture flight to a Europe megahub within their own alliance. Given the similarities of markets served by AF out of CDG and LH out of FRA, the interline connection advantage would be almost entirely negated. A potential YYC-CDG run for AC would be therefore more O&D based (lest it cannibalizes AC844) and face similar challenges to the now failed TS service.

If anything we are more likely to Munich. For Vancouver that was the second European hub served by Lufthansa-Air Canada under the joint venture.
AC already has Heathrow as point to connect onto non-star alliance airlines not served well through Germany. Can't see them adding Paris from Calgary. WestJet on the other hand would be an excellent fit for a flight to Paris.
