Hooker Tom Collett, scrum-half Ben Youngs and full-back Greig Tonks are named in the starting XV, with clubmate Jack Cobden included among the replacements.
England U-18s are the reigning Home Unions champions having won the title for the first time outright last year with a 21-15 victory against Wales in the final at Cheltenham.
This year's squad is drawn from players in the RFU's Junior National Academy and Under-18s Conference Squad, which is fed by the 14 RFU regional academies.
Chris Kibble who coaches the squad alongside Simon Hardy, said: "France are always going to be tough opponents. We played them away last October in a conference game and, although we won, we learned that they are a dangerous outfit that can attack from anywhere on the field. We have also got a great back row and a strong pack. Coupled with some very exciting runners in the backs, I am sure Saturday is going to provide some very exciting rugby."
