Out-half Gerald Merceron has lost his place in France's side for this weekend's RBS Six Nations clash with Scotland in Paris.
Francois Gelez takes over the number 10 jersey from Merceron following a disappointing performance by the Montferrand man against England on Saturday.
Merceron missed two penalties and a conversion in the 25-17 defeat to England at Twickenham.
The other main change in Bernard Laporte's starting line-up has been the inclusion of Stade Francais prop Sylvain Marconnet at the expense of Christian Califano.
FRANCE:C Pointrenaud; A Rougerie, X Garbajosa, D Traille, V Clerc; F Gelez, F Galthie; J-J Crenca, R Ibanez, S Marconnet, F Pelous, O Brouzet, S Betsen, O Magne, I Harinordoquy.
Replacements:J-B Rue, C Califano, D Auradou, S Chabal, D Yachvili, G Merceron, T Castaignede.
