In February 2021, Dufour received her first call-up to the France national team, when she was named in the 27-player squad for the 2021 Tournoi de France. The tournament later got cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic in Europe and it was decided that France would play two friendly matches against Switzerland instead. However, Dufour couldn't feature in either matches as she was pulled out of the squad due to injury.
