Wales face Les Bleus in Paris in what will be their first match since March.
It is one kicking and skills coach Jenkins is looking forward to.
“It is nice to be back. It has been tough since March, but to be involved now and have the boys back is great,” said the former fly-half.
“It’s doing things a little bit differently to what we are normally used to, but the boys have had a head start and been very good helping us.
“We understand what is going on, both at home and in France, and we respect that 100 per cent.
“We are there to do a job, we are there to represent our country, and I would like to think we are going to do that as best as we possibly can both on and off the pitch.
“We will adhere to everything that is required of us, hopefully play a very good game on Saturday, and do our utmost to win the Test match and try and pick the nation up.
“It’s brutal for everyone whether you are a sportsperson or a non-sportsperson. It is not an easy situation at this moment in time. I hope we can put some smiles on faces.
“We want to win, plain and simple. We have lost our last few games. We are here to play well and we are here to win Test matches.”
France got the better of Wales in the Six Nations at the start of the year before Covid-19 struck.
“It seems an incredibly long time ago. People might disagree, but for me it was a Test match I believe we should have won. We had opportunities,” Jenkins said.
“We gave probably 14 points away if I am brutally honest. We left a number of opportunities out there.”
Both sides will use the game to warm-up for their remaining Six Nations clashes and then their Autumn Nations Cup campaigns.
On questions regarding Josh Navidi’s involvement, Jenkins added: “He is going through his protocols and we will see how he goes this week and for the weeks coming up.”
