Head coach Steve Borthwick has remained loyal to the overhauled backline that misfired in the 23-18 defeat by Italy in Rome with Fin Smith continuing at fly-half for Saturday's visit to Paris.
Instead, Borthwick has tinkered with his back row by installing Ollie Chessum at blindside flanker and moving Guy Pepper to openside at the expense of Sam Underhill, who drops to the bench for the climax to the Championship.
Underhill was propelled to the starting XV at the Stadio Olimpico when Tom Curry suffered a tournament-ending calf injury during the warm up, but against France he will act as a replacement as part of a six-two split between forwards and backs.
By starting Chessum, Borthwick is strengthening England's line-out and giving his pack greater ballast to take on France's giant forwards.
Nine changes in personnel and a further three positional switches were made against Italy, but gutting the team failed to have the desire effect as England crashed to an historic first defeat by the Azzurri in 33 encounters.
Borthwick received a vote of limited confidence from the Rugby Football Union.
Chief executive Bill Sweeney's statement made no mention of Borthwick being safe until the 2027 World Cup, when his contract ends, instead suggesting he has the summer tour to save his job.
If England lose to France, they will have completed the tournament with one victory - against Wales in the opener - in what will be their worst Six Nations performance.
"It's a huge challenge under the lights in Paris against a very strong France side," Borthwick said.
"England versus France is one of the great rivalries in international rugby and we're looking forward to the occasion."
