But it was one-cap star Presnel Kimpembe who stole the show with his colourful hair, wacky jacket and trainer combination.
The Paris Saint-Germain defender, 22, combined black and gold as he walked to France HQ at Clairefontaine.
Olivier Giroud and Antoine Griezmann were just two other stars spotted amongst Wednesday's melee, as the 23-man squad prepares to jet off to Russia.
