Tommy O'Brien will captain the side from the centre, while scrum half Johnny Stewart, who made his first start for Ulster against Leinster at the RDS earlier this month, will earn his 11th cap at Under-20 level.
"We’ve had a good build up over the past few months, and it’s an exciting time for the players as well as the coaching team," said head coach Noel McNamara.
"France is never an easy place to go to play, and we’re expecting a large and noisy crowd at the game, but it’s a good challenge for the players everyone involved is looking forward to getting the campaign underway on Friday night.”
