Brentford B will face AS Monaco’s Groupe Elite side in a behind-closed-doors fixture on Wednesday at Training Center La Turbie in an 12pm kick-off (local time).
Having enjoyed a long stint of London-based fixtures, Neil MacFarlane’s group will set off for a four-night trip, which will also include a clash with OGC Nice on Saturday morning.
The young Bees and Monaco will meet for the second time in two months, following the recent fixture between the sides at Wheatsheaf Park in October.
Neil MacFarlane's side fought back from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw with late strikes from Michael Olakigbe and Charlie Farr completing the comeback.

Neil MacFarlane on Monaco test
"We've faced Monaco quite a few times in recent years and it's always a good game with really high intensity.
"We recently faced them at Wheatsheaf Park which was a brilliant encounter, so we are ready for the challenge they will bring.
"The variety of opposition we are able to come up against is great for the development of our players. I'm sure it will be a fantastic tour and one the lads will learn a lot from."
