First time flying from a non Schengen country (Egypt) to a Schengen country (France) for a layover to a Schengen country (Spain)

So pretty much, I am an American who will be leaving Egypt and have an 11 hour layover in Paris before heading to Spain via AF.

Plan on leaving CDG for around 4-5 hours to get over to the Eiffel Tower and grab lunch. We are checking bags, will we need to clear customs and re-check our luggage when we enter CDG?

I know the AF rep will probably let us know at the airport but just wanted to know ahead of time so we can plan accordingly with our time.

Thanks!
