France were drawn on Monday night to play defending champions England as well as Wales and the Netherlands in the group stages at the 2025 women's European football championships.
Laurent Bonadei's charges will kick off their campaign for a first international title on 5 July against England. Their other Group D games follow on 9 July and 13 July.
The tournament, which will be played at eight venues across Switzerland, will be the first major test for 55-year-old Bonadei who took over from Hervé Renard last summer after France were eliminated in the quarter-finals at the Olympic Games in Paris.
Hosts Switzerland, who will feature in Group A, will open the football fest on 2 July against Norway at St Jakob-Park in Basel. They will also play Finland and Iceland.
Germany, who lost to England in the final in 2022, will take on Poland, Denmark and Sweden in Group C. In Group B, world champions Spain will face Portugal, Belgium and Italy.
The top two from each of the four pools advance to the last eight knockout stages where penalty shoot-outs kick in if the scores are level after 30 minutes of extra-time.
The semis are scheduled for Geneva and Zurich respectively on 22 and 23 July and the final will be played on 27 July at St Jakob-Park.
Before the draw at the Swiss Tech Convention Centre in Lausanne, the executive committee of the organisers Uefa approved a 41 million euro prize fund for the competition.
Uefa handed out 16m euros to the teams competing at the 2022 tournament in England which was delayed by a year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
