Elissalde will be paired with fellow club man Frederic Michalak at halfback and the team to face the Wallabies on Saturday will contain six players from 2004/2005 Heineken Cup champions Toulouse.
Laporte named an entirely new front row of Olivier Milloud, Dimitri Swarzewski and Denis Avril - the latter in his first start for his country.
Julien Laharrague, who favours playing at fullback, was named on the wing, replacing Vincent Clerc.
Benoit Baby partners Yannick Jauzion at centre with Damien Traille dropped to the bench.
Meanwhile veteran flanker Olivier Magne replaces Yannick Nyanga.
