France produced a stunning performance to comfortably beat Argentina 27-0 in Tucumán on Saturday.
Tries from Hugo Bonneval, Remy Lamerat and Loann Goujon helped end Les Blues' four-match losing streak and level the series 1-1.
The Pumas were outclassed throughout the match and struggled to find the form which saw them win the first Test 30-19 just six days ago.
The visitors started the match the stronger of the two sides and missed two early penalties at the Estadio Monumental Jose Fierro.
The match remained scoreless until the 26th minute when French scrum-half Baptiste Serin successfully kicked the first three points.
Serin then broke down the right wing to set Bonneval up for an easy finish shortly before the half-time break.
The impressive 22-year-old then added another three points after the interval to extend France's lead to 13-0.
The match was all but finished as a contest when centre Lamerat crossed over for his first Test try, following a lovely show-and-go from fly-half Francois Trinh-Duc.
Goujon then added gloss to the victory by barging his way over from close range for the game's final try.
