Wales scored seven tries as they ran riot against Italy in Rome to remain unbeaten in this season’s Six Nations.
They now have an opportunity to complete a clean sweep in Paris, but Jones is wary of a dangerous France side.
“We know the significance away games have in this competition,” said Jones.
“It is one we have not experienced before and it’s going to be another week of weeks leading up to the game on Saturday.
“How many levels will we have to go up? A good few.
“I don’t know if it gets easier or more difficult the more opportunities you get with games like this, but the biggest thing for me is the realisation we’ve got a lot of players in this squad that have been in these weeks before.
“We’ve got a lot of players that have played a lot of competitive rugby at domestic level if they’re not experienced it here. You don’t want to be over the top with the messaging and speak too much because it builds the fatigue levels.
“Ultimately, we’re going to rely not on past experience but the fact it’s another opportunity and challenge to play for Wales in a special week.”

Wales were beaten by France in Paris in an Autumn Nations Cup warm-up Test match last October while they also narrowly lost to Les Bleus in the 2020 Six Nations.
But Wales’ most capped player Jones believes France they will face a much improved side this Saturday night.
“In many ways it’s a similar situation (to the autumn) with no fans away in France and that was a clinical game by them,” he said.
“But that was the start of a competition in a different situation. I don’t want to be over the top, but the world had changed and we were going into a competition we hadn’t experienced before.
“We’re a bit further down the line with no crowds, where we are with the game, and all that’s going on to make it happen. I think we’ve dealt with that, but we still have to go up a few gears to go there and perform.
“France are arguably the in-form competition and have been for the last two years, and I’m sure they’re not going to stop that next week.”
