The Parisians lost on the Sale pitch (28-5) on the occasion of their entry into the competition.
Stade Français, author of a good start to the season in the Top 14, lost (28-5) on Sunday at the leader of the English championship, Sale, for its return to the Champions Cup.
The Parisians, with a team largely overhauled compared to the one which had dominated Toulouse (27-12) last weekend, scored against the run of play the first try of the match, by their South African center Jeremy Ward, captain for the first time.
But the Sharks of England internationals George Ford, Ben Curry and Manu Tuilagi made the difference in the second half, scoring three tries.
Stade Français will host another English club, Leicester, next Sunday at the Jean-Bouin stadium, for the second day of the Champions Cup.
