France have reshaped their back row as they attempt to prevent England completing the Grand Slam at the Stade de France on Saturday.
Les Bleus coach Guy Noves has responded to last weekend's defeat to Scotland at Murrayfield by drafting Loann Goujon and Bernard Le Roux into the back row.
Damien Chouly switches to blindside flanker to make room for Bordeaux-Begles No 8 Goujon to win his 10th cap.
Gone from the 29-18 defeat in Edinburgh are flankers Yacouba Camara and Wenceslas Lauret, but the rest of the side is unchanged as France seek to bounce back from successive Six Nations defeats to Scotland and Wales.
"We need to bring the freshness in the team for Saturday's game in Paris," Noves was quoted as saying on the French Rugby Federation's official Twitter account.
"I believe in our team. I am sure that our team can take on great challenges. I believe our team can compete with the power of the English. This team is young, but we give them our confidence."
England have already won the Six Nations title but victory on Saturday will secure Eddie Jones' side their first Grand Slam in 13 years.
France: 15 Scott Spedding; 14 Wesley Fofana, 13 Gael Fickou, 12 Maxime Mermoz, 11 Virimi Vakatawa; 10 Francois Trinh-Duc, 9 Maxime Machenaud; 1 Jefferson Poirot, 2 Guilhem Guirado (capt), 3 Rabah Slimani, 4 Alexandre Flanquart, 5 Yoann Maestri, 6 Damien Chouly, 7 Bernard Le Roux, 8 Loann Goujon.
