Amy Cokayne, Jess Breach and Alex Matthews scored in Grenoble while Emily Scarratt kicked 18 points.
Cokayne powered over after seven minutes as England raced into a 7-0 lead before Gaelle Hermet’s converted try levelled.
Caroline Drouin’s penalty edged France ahead but Scarratt’s own penalty ensured it was 10-10 at half time.
England quickly took control after the break as Matthews went over three minutes from the restart after excellent work from Helena Rowland.
Breach added England’s third two minutes later, with Scarratt converting again.
Two more Scarratt penalties completed the win as Grand Slam champions England sealed a second victory over France this year following their 19-13 Six Nations win in February.

Not a bad game Wayne but just 2 points. Firstly how on earth didn't you ping a blatant "not straight" Ausie line out throw in the 1st half, then pinged exactly the same thing in the 2nd. My next point not only applies to you. The Ausi line out thrower stands INSIDE the field of play, and have done so every match.
