In a statement, Air France said: "Air France confirms that the lifeless body of a stowaway was discovered in the well of the landing gear of the aircraft performing flight AF703 connecting Abidjan (ABJ) to Paris-Charles de Gaulle on January 7, 2020."
The journey usually takes around six hours.
Last year, the body of a stowaway was found in the garden of a house near Heathrow Airport in London after falling from an aircraft that was flying in from Kenya.
He landed inches away from a man who had been sunbathing in his garden in Clapham, South London.
The stowaway was found with a rucksack, two bottles of drink, a pair of trainers and some other small items.
