Plane connection in Lyon Airport

We're flying from Nice to Biarritz for the start of the RS Basque Country tour in May. Has anyone flown through Lyon? If so, is a 45 minute connection reasonable, or should we look for a longer connection. Thank you!

I would imagine it's a small airport, and you don't have any immigration lines to worry about, so surely it is sufficient.

Single ticket?
Checked luggage?

Kim is probably right, but her response "assumes facts not in evidence"

Edit--Oops-- misread schedule, re 45 minute connection time.

If I were doing it with checked luggage I think I would choose the 65 minute connection. With carry-on only I would likely do the 45 minutes. My $0.02

"Yes" on the checked luggage, and this is for two people.

Current options on the Air France website include this option, among others.

I appreciate the opinions and suggestions!

We did go with the 1.5 hour connection through Paris.
Agree the 45 min just isn't worth the concern - especially with the checked luggage.
