France's interior minister said Britain has a moral duty to take in hundreds of migrant children currently in Calais's Jungle camp ahead of a meeting with the UK's Home Secretary Amber Rudd on Monday, reports Radio France Internationale.
Meanwhile, an Eritrean migrant died on Sunday night after being hit by a British motorist on the motorway into the Channel port.
"I am solemnly asking Britain to assume its moral duty", Cazeneuve told RTL radio.
Several hundred unaccompanied minors in Calais have family in Britain, he said. "We are in the process of drawing up a precise list and the British need to live up to their responsibilities. We have lived up to ours."
He would pass that message to his British counterpart with "the greatest clarity" when he met her at 1.00pm in London, he added.
Last week Cazeneuve said there were up to 950 children in the Jungle camp, many of them without their families.
"When all the cameras are turned on these unaccompanied minors that the British won't take, people will see, so it is in their interest to take them," he told RTL radio.
The camp is to be cleared, although the timetable has yet to be announced.
Prime Minister Manuel Valls has said that the operation will start in the next few weeks.
An Eritrean man died on Sunday night after being hit by a car on the A16 motorway into Calais earlier in the evening.
A woman in her 30s who was with him was slightly injured.
