Fare type notes
Some airlines include only a smaller underseat item with basic fares. Larger cabin bags can require a paid bundle, priority service, or eligible ticket.
How strict is Air France?
Air France publishes 55 x 35 x 25 cm for the cabin bag, and at the gate the sizer frame decides — not your tape measure. Enforcement varies by airport and crew, but a bag within 1 cm of any limit is always a gamble. Hard shells can't squeeze and soft bags bulge once packed — leave yourself a margin.

dimensions
Underseat item
Air France's All cabins fare includes a personal item up to 40 x 30 x 15 cm, and it has to fit under the seat in front of you. Air France does not publish a weight limit for this bag — the size frame is what gets enforced.
dimensions
Overhead cabin bag
Air France publishes 55 x 35 x 25 cm for the carry-on on Economy / paid Basic fare option, but whether it's included depends on your ticket, and it goes in the overhead bin. Published weight limit: max 12 kg.

Fare and add-on check
Air France's cabin allowance changes with the ticket you buy (carry-on: Economy / paid Basic fare option). Maximum size includes pockets, wheels, and handles; the 12 kg limit covers the small bag and hand baggage together. Basic fare passengers may need an add-on for hand baggage.

Airline context
Air France is a full-service carrier based in France. Full-service carriers typically include both a cabin bag and a personal item, but weight gets checked more often than size — keep an eye on the kilo limit as well as the frame.
