Italy's Nadia Battocletti claimed silver in a national record of 30:43.35, while defending champion Sifan Hassan took a second bronze of the Games after also bagging third place in the 5,000m.
Chebet shattered the world record in the 25-lap event earlier this season, running a startling 28:54.14 in Eugene to become the first woman to break the 29-minute barrier.
Her victory in Paris leaves Hassan staring at Sunday's marathon as her sole chance to depart France with a gold.
