bbcsportsFrance and Scotland each make five changes as they bid to bounce back from opening-day defeats in the Six Nations.
The hosts replace banned centre Florian Fritz with Benoit Baby, while Cedric Heymans, Nicolas Mas, Fabien Barcella and Romain Millo-Chluski also come in.
Brothers Thom and Max Evans play for Scotland together for the first time.
Forwards Alasdair Strokosch and Alasdair Dickinson are called up, along with winger Simon Danielli. However, Chris Paterson remains on the bench.
France were beaten 30-21 by Ireland at Croke Park, while the Scots surrendered meekly at Murrayfield to Wales.
The visitors have won just twice in Paris in 40 years, and last tasted victory at the Stade de France the day before Wales' victory over England at Wembley helped Jim Telfer's team win the Five Nations championship in 1999.
Scotland head coach Frank Hadden is still missing influential duo Euan Murray and Nathan Hines from his pack and he is demanding a better performance in the collision areas.
"I don't tend to have regrets over selections that are based on the best available information at the time," said Hadden.
"What's important is the guys that come in get the opportunity to prove the selectors wrong.
"We know the supporters demand and deserve better than the performance against Wales and the players are determined to do that."
Hadden's response has been to go with the suggestion made by many former Scotland players in the media that he should trust in youth and see if winger Thom Evans can translate his red-hot club form to international level.
Fuelled by the knowledge that it was the pace of the the Irish backs which most troubled the French in Dublin, Hadden has paired both Evans brothers in a Scotland jersey for the first time.
Elder brother Max came off the bench to score Scotland's late try at Murrayfield last Sunday - and he has now been rewarded with a start at centre, Ben Cairns making way.
"We've decided on balance that Simon and Thom would bring a cutting edge out wide," explained Hadden. "Both these guys will ask real questions of the French defence on the outside."
The inclusion of Danielli, who has been on the fringes of the team in recent seasons, came as a surprise, with many expecting Paterson to return to the starting line-up after a good showing when he came on against Wales.
But Hugo Southwell remains at full-back, while the goal-kicking duties will go to fly-half Phil Godman.
Flanker Strokosch takes over from Ally Hogg in the back row. And there is an enforced change at prop, where Strokosch's Gloucester team-mate Alasdair Dickinson steps in for the concussed Geoff Cross.
France too have a point to prove after coming in for a wave of media criticism in the wake of defeat in Dublin.
Coach Marc Lievremont said his main task during the week would be to "refocus" the team. And several players have suggested that the message from the coaches was that players had "forgotten the fighting side of the game".
"We sinned by lack of aggressiveness," said captain Lionel Nallet.
The most high profile casualty of the defeat in Dublin is their most instantly recognisable player Sebastien Chabal.
After labouring with a back injury at Croke Park, Chabal has been relegated to the bench, while Toulouse winger Heymans takes over from Julien Malzieu and props Benoit Lecouls and Lionel Faure drop out.
The home side were forced to make a further switch on Wednesday when Fritz was suspended for three weeks for striking an opponent against Ireland.
