The France Sevens is an annual international rugby union sevens tournament that has been held in Paris and Bordeaux in France. From 1996 to 1999 it was known as the Air France Sevens, and in 2000 the tournament was part of the inaugural World Sevens Series.
The IRB hosted the tournament at Bordeaux in 2004, before returning to Paris for 2005 and 2006. The event was effectively replaced in the World Sevens Series by the Scotland (Edinburgh) Sevens for the 2006-07 season.
The tournament will return to the Sevens World Series for the 2015-16 season.
