The French Football Federation have organised games against Mexico and Denmark to help Les Bleus warm up for the World Cup.
France will play the Mexicans at the Stade de France on May 27, before travelling north to the Stade Félix-Bollaert to take on Denmark four days later.
Coach Raymond Domenech was keen to find at least one non-European opponent, as he prepares for group games against South Korea and Togo in Germany.
Mexico, who finished fourth in the Confederations Cup and are a top seed in World Cup Group D, should provide a stern test.
France have not played Denmark since the disastrous 1-0 loss at the 2002 World Cup, a result that condemned Roger Lemerre’s team to an early exit.
A friendly against Slovakia on March 1 has already been confirmed.
They have just one more date to fill now, and Jamaica, Paraguay, Finland, Canada, China and Japan are all in contention to face Zinedine Zidane and co. on June 7.
France play their first World Cup match against Switzerland in Stuttgart on June 13.
