Narrative:

Our flight plan indicated that we were required to do a flight confidence check on arrival into paris; cdg. The captain had planned on doing so and briefed accordingly. I was reviewing the lfpg arrival pages and noted that it states per french rules at lfpg that autolands/CAT III practice approaches are not authorized between 0700 local time and 1300 local time. After noting this restriction; we elected a CAT I approach and manual landing. I believe that this restriction is not an awareness item for our crews coming in on an arrival since I have heard crews discuss that they have done confidence checks in the past.
