Reims held on to win 2-1 at fourth-tier Cannes on Wednesday and set up a French Cup final against defending champion Paris St. Germain next month.
Reims took the lead through 19-year-old Nigeria winger Hafiz Ibrahim in the 14th minute.
Veteran midfielder Cheikh N’Doye, who is 39, equalised for Cannes early in the 52nd only for Ibrahim to set up Malta midfielder Teddy Teuma shortly after.
The final is on May 24.
PSG avoided a huge upset when it rallied from two goals down to beat second-tier Dunkerque 4-2 on Tuesday and stay on course for a record-extending 16th French Cup.
