Prime Minister Edouard Philippe tweeted that he will unveil the "national deconfinement strategy" in an address at the National Assembly. Lawmakers will get to debate the blueprint before voting on it.
The government has for weeks had teams of experts working on finding a balance between restarting the economy without provoking a second surge of COVID-19 infections that could overwhelm hospital ICUs.
President Emmanuel Macron had already announced that France's lockdown, in place since March 17 and among the strictest in Europe, would begin to ease from May 11.
Philippe's long-awaited speech will flesh out the details. He said it will cover six themes: health, schooling, work, shops, transport and gatherings.
