My H1 visa stamp on the passport is expired and i have an approved extension from USCIS till 2010, i need to go for stamping in india, can i travel via paris or do ineed a transit visa?

You can ...

You don't have to worry about your US visa during this flight, nor do you need any transit visa for France.

Also note that Air India does not even allow you to get out of the aircraft when it lands for a couple of hours at CDG [Paris].

Take care.
