Goal: Janko 75.
Referee: Menashe Masiah (Israel.
Both goals came in the second-half as Germany fought back after Mathieu Valbuena had opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time.
Valbuena headed home from close range in the 44th minute after Karim Benzema's free kick bounced off the bar, but Muller slotted past Hugo Lloris early the second half and Khedira wrapped it up from Mesut Ozil's pass with 17 minutes left.
Real Madrid striker Benzema missed a
clear chance in the first half and has now not scored for France in his
last 10 appearances.
France, reeling following a poor run that lasted from 2008-12, drew 1-1 with Spain in a World Cup qualifier and beat Italy 1-0 in a friendly in their last two outings but the world's second-ranked team proved a bridge too far.
Germany were without midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger, striker Miroslav Klose and Borussia Dortmund trio Mario Gotze, Marco Reus and Marcel Schmelzer, but they still dominated possession on a cold Parisian night.
France struggled in midfield but a lively Franck Ribery repeatedly threatened the German defence and Valbuena was also influential.
Bacary Sagna, making his comeback for France with his first appearance since September 2011, broke down the right flank and picked out Moussa Sissoko in the area, only for the Newcastle midfielder to fluff his attempt.
