Six Nations 2023: 15 atmospheric Edinburgh pubs where you can watch Scotland take on France in rugby showdown
The buoyant Scots head to Paris after kicking off the Six Nations campaign with bonus-point victories away to England and at home to Wales.
Victory at Stade de France on Sunday (February 26) would leave them in pole position to go for a first Grand Slam since the 1990 Five Nations, with back-to-back home games against Ireland and Italy to come in March.
