Coach Declan Kidney stuck with the lineup who beat Italy 42-10 last weekend after they were originally named to face the French on February 11 before the match was postponed because of a frozen pitch at the Stade de France.
Prop Cian Healy, centre Gordon D'Arcy, fullback Rob Kearney and back-rower Sean O'Brien have recovered from minor injuries they picked up in the game against Italy, the Irish Rugby Football Union said in a statement.
Ireland lost their opening match at home to Wales, while France have beaten Scotland and Italy in their two games so far.
