The French women's team has one foot and at least eight toes in Australia and New Zealand where the next World Cup will take place in 2023.
By winning 2-1 on April 8 in Wales against the Welsh, the daughters of Corinne Deacon have almost ensured their qualification.
A simple draw next Tuesday against the modest Slovenians will be enough for him to officially score the ticket.
Les Bleues scored twice with Wendie Renard (31st) and Marie-Antoinette Katoto (57th) scoring.
The tough Welsh as in the first leg (2-0) came back to score.
Les Bleues shook at the end of the match but they still secured a seventh victory in as many matches in this qualifying phase.
They therefore have only one point to win from the three remaining matches, a task which they can perform on Tuesday at Le Mans against Slovenia, second in group I.
