The meeting with the world champions will be followed by hosting a first test against Japan since 1973 in Lille on November 25.

Sandwiched between those two outings is a date with South Africa, at the Stade de France, on November 18.

France are also scheduling a second run out against the All Blacks on November 14, with Marseille's Stade Velodrome the likely venue.
