Les Blues haven't won the Six Nations since 2010, although they were runners-up in both 2021 and 2020. This looks like it could be the year when they realise their immense potential and return to the big time.
They started with a bonus-point victory over Italy — no surprise there — then followed it up with an impressive 30-24 win over Ireland. That was Ireland's first defeat in 11 games and has left plenty of pundits tipping the French for the title this season.
In scrum half and captain Antoine Dupont they have the world player of the year and their side is a settled one; the returning Jonathan Danty is the only change from the team that beat Ireland.
But don't write off the Scots yet. They beat England in their opening fixture and have home advantage against the French, even if defeat against Wales last time out did crush their own dreams of a grand slam.
They do have to contend with several injuries here, though, with Rory Sutherland, Jonny Gray, Jamie Ritchie, Cam Redpath, Scott Cummings and Matt Fagerson all missing.
Here are the teams:
Scotland: 15 Stuart Hogg (c), 14 Darcy Graham, 13 Chris Harris, 12 Sione Tuipulotu, 11 Duhan van der Merwe, 10 Finn Russell, 9 Ali Price, 8 Magnus Bradbury, 7 Hamish Watson, 6 Rory Darge, 5 Grant Gilchrist, 4 Sam Skinner, 3 Zander Fagerson, 2 Stuart McInally, 1 Pierre Schoeman
Replacements: 16 George Turner, 17 Oli Kebble, 18 WP Nel, 19 Jamie Hodgson, 20 Nick Haining, 21 Ben White, 22 Blair Kinghorn, 23 Mark Bennett
France: 15 Melvyn Jaminet, 14 Damian Penaud, 13 Gael Fickou, 12 Jonathan Danty, 11 Yoram Moefana, 10 Romain Ntamack, 9 Antoine Dupont (c), 8 Gregory Alldritt, 7 Francois Cros, 6 Anthony Jelonch, 5 Paul Willemse, 4 Cameron Woki, 3 Uini Atonio, 2 Julien Marchand, 1 Cyril Baille
Replacements: 16 Peato Mauvaka, 17 Jean-Baptiste Gros, 18 Demba Bamba, 19 Romain Taofifenua, 20 Thibaud Flament, 21 Dylan Cretin, 22 Maxime Lucu, 23 Thomas Ramos
