Yes — your 60,000 Chase UR can cover it.
Air France / KLM Flying Blue runs monthly Promo Rewards, and March SFO→CDG business has been appearing at 50,000 miles + ~$220 in taxes. Chase transfers to Flying Blue 1:1, usually instantly.

Why this is the play
Your UR points are worth 2.01¢ typical — this redemption gets 2.7× that.
Your 12,345 Amex MR aren’t enough alone (Flying Blue is also an Amex partner if you top up later).
Your 40,000 United miles could do economy on Star Alliance instead — but business via United needs 77k+.
Watch-outs
Promo Rewards inventory changes monthly — transfer only after you see the seat.
Transfers are one-way. Keep the other 10k UR flexible.
