Tour chronology
Previous tour	Australia 2014
Next tour	South Africa 2017

In June 2016, France played a two-test series against Argentina as part of the 2016 mid-year rugby union tests.^[1] They played Los Pumas across the two weeks that were allocated to the June International window (19 June and 25 June), and which were part of the fourth year of the global rugby calendar established by the International Rugby Board, which runs through to 2019.^[2] This was the first French tour to Argentina since their drawn series in 2012.

The French domestic Top 14 tournament ended later than usual, as no games were scheduled during the pool phase of the 2015 Rugby World Cup. Therefore, the semi-finals and final of the 2015–16 season coincided with the June international window, clashing with the French games on the 19 and 25 June.^[3]^[4]

On 13 June, Novès named a further 11 players on top of the initial 17, after Toulouse and Castres and were eliminated from the Top 14 quarter-finals.^[6]
