Assuming you booked this travel on 1 ticket, and you stay in the transit (airside) you won't need a test. If these were 2 separate tickets, and you have to leave the transit to get your bags and check them in again you would need a test.
But what keeps you away from testing? First you wouldn't need to worry if you need a test in France or not, and second it would be safer for every one...

The page you linked to states:
In addition, for travellers over 11 years of age:
A. If you are arriving from a country on the list below, even if you are in transit, or if you have been there in the last 30 days you must present a negative test result carried out less than 72 hours before boarding. You will not be allowed to board without this document.
Algeria, Bahrain, China, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ecuador, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Morocco, Panama, South Africa, Russia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Ukraine, United States and Zimbabwe.
B. If you are coming from another country, you are strongly recommended to present a negative test result, carried out less than 72 hours before departure, upon your arrival in France. If you do not have this result, you will have to take a test at your airport of arrival.
So if you have not been to any of the listed countries in the last 30 days (or the UK in the last 14 days), you do not need to have taken a test before leaving, whether in transit or not. Itβs unclear to me whether you will have to get tested at the airport if in transit. In any case, taking a test before travelling seems like the safest option for everyone involved.
Note however that the transit through France means you will need to self-isolate for 10 days when arriving in the UK.
