France celebrate their opening try against EnglandAP:Associated Press
The hosts stormed to a 24-0 lead following tries from Vincent Rattez and their captain Charles Ollivon, on top of a stunning kicking display by fly-half Romain Ntamack.
Jonny May hit back with two tries for England but the gap was already too big that not even a last-gasp bonus point to fix.
Eddie Jones’ men travel to play Scotland at Murrayfield in Round 2 next Saturday.
Here, SunSport’s Jonny Fordham offers his ratings
England – George Furbank – 5/10
Tough debut, dropped a few clangers, but put in a decent kick as England finally started to play. One to forget in all though.
Jonny May – 8
The only England player to have a decent spell. Superb solo tries. Sparked something of a comeback, but his team-mates couldn’t get close to his moments of magic.
Manu Tuilagi – 5
Off after just 15 minutes when he twerked his groin and England desperately missed their most physical and aggressive player.
Owen Farrell – 5
Never plays well when England lose a game. The ultimate warrior, but didn’t have the answers as things went from bad to worse.
Elliot Daly – 5
Still not sure under the high ball, for once, can Jones just pick him in his best and most-natural position at outside centre?
George Ford – 6
Controlled the game and a calm head when things were going drastically wrong. Looked at times like he was the guy captaining this side as they looked for answers.

Ben Youngs – 5
Shown up by 23-year-old superstar Antoine Dupont. Put in two decent kicks in the second half, but first half was inaccurate.
Joe Marler – 5
Solid at scrum time.
Jamie George – 5
Creaky lineout as France frustrated and attacked England in the air. Only lost one throw, but won’t be satisfied at it on the whole.
Kyle Sinckler – 5
Looked to carry more with no Billy Vunipola in the side, but France’s hungry pack swallowed him up and sent him packing.
Maro Itoje – 5
Quietest game for England in memory. Looked out on his feet at times too after a horror season with Saracens so far off the pitch following the salary cap scandal.
Charlie Ewels – 5
Had little impact on the game and didn’t grasp the opportunity given to him with a few knock-ons too.
Courtney Lawes – 5
Put himself about, but didn’t have enough allies to make it mean anything as he started to wilt in the second half.
Sam Underhill – 5
Smashed backwards several times – usually he’s the one doing that. Struggled to dominate the breakdown like he normally does.
Tom Curry – 5
Wasn’t able to control the scrum at his first Test outing here. A poisoned chalice filling in for Billy Vunipola. And didn’t have an impact at the breakdown.
