Wales fell to their first defeat of the Wayne Pivac era against Ireland a fortnight ago and will face a France side who are unbeaten after impressive victories over England and Italy respectively.
And strong scrummager Jones believes Wales have to keep the tempo up if they are to emerge victorious this weekend.
“They’ve got big men but we’ve got to run them around the park,” said the Scarlets man.
“You know yourself as soon as you start running those big men around they start blowing and it makes the game easier for us. You want to try and move that big tight eight around the field.
“If we start fast they’ll soon be looking up at the clock and going down for a breather. For us we’ve just got to keep the tempo up and keep playing our game.
“It was obviously disappointing (losing in Ireland) because you want to win every game. I think it was frustrating as well because when Hadleigh went over if we would have scored then it maybe would have been a different outcome.
“But on a different day I think we could have won it towards the end but there was probably too many individual errors from all of us collectively.”
Despite defeat in Dublin Jones believes there has been no dent in Wales’ confidence as they target their third win in succession over France, who now have Shaun Edwards as their defence coach.
And Jones is confident last season’s win in Paris where Wales overturned a 16-point half-time deficit will stand them in good stead.
He said: “There’s no dent in our confidence especially playing at home this weekend. It’s a great stadium with a great atmosphere and I think it gives everyone the confidence and the buzz you need.
Referring to last year’s match in Paris, Jones added: “It definitely gives us belief. It’s a never-say-die attitude. We had our backs against the wall. We just rolled our sleeves up and came back.
“It was a great win at the end. It shows how tight we are as a squad.”
