The best chance is to pay for an upgrade
Haven’t travelled in more than a year and not aware of recent changes. I never got free international upgrades as a Diamond medallion and had to use Delta Upgrade certificates.
Gold medallions and above are free to use the lounge for international travel, I think.
I would pay for an upgrade if it’s reasonable.
I was upgraded once on a trip to Mexico. Platinum. It was spouse's milestone birthday trip and I asked if they could only upgrade one seat and they upgraded all 3 of us. Forever a Delta fan!
I think that’s a challenge since more Platinums may be flying at that time. Air France has an underwhelming business class anyway, I’d say just aim for the front of economy and enjoy the wine.
Depends on the plane I guess, A380 a lot better than older A350s.
I hope you get it OP! But I think it might be difficult to come by. International flight and gold medallion.
It is possible I guess though I wouldn't put the probability over 5% or so.

No free international PE or business upgrades with status and comfort plus isn’t really a thing in Europe because we had premium economy for ages. Only change is an operational upgrade but it’s worth asking the cash price when you check in
Flew the Air France flight from atlanta to CDG 3 years ago in economy. Super old/uncomfortable plane. And really limited meal and water/beverage service. Reco—Bring snacks and water!
It’s never happened when I’ve flown that routing as a delta plat (maybe 3 round trips?). Not 100% sure what the AF upgrade protocol is but if it was on delta metal you would have zero chance (no international upgrades unless you have a global upgrade cert). It’s one of my biggest pet peeves about delta - can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched gate agents fill almost empty delta one cabins with non-revs and their companions while I’m getting left in the back of the bus.
I haven’t looked in awhile but I have been able to pay for biz upgrades on AF that we’re super reasonable ($200ish) for Econ to biz.
$200 for biz holy smokes !! Steal
