The All Blacks, beaten for the first time in 32 World Cup pool games, had two Mark Telea tries and a sole penalty by Richie Mo'unga to show for themselves.
"We felt there was a lot of pressure in the first half, it took, us time to relax and they scored quickly and easily.
Sixteen years after losing their opening World Cup game as hosts against Argentina, France rose to the occasion, beating the All Blacks for the second time in a row.
New Zealand were on the brink of the line again and surprisingly opted for the kick when France were penalised.
France started the second half with a more playful mindset but were punished right away for their defensive nonchalance.
