Wales head to Paris next week for the first Friday night game in RBS 6 Nations history, knowing victory over France would leave a second successive championship clean sweep just two more wins away.
"Our focus has already turned towards France," said skipper Jones, whose side defeated England 23-15 on Saturday. "There is no better place to play rugby and it is a great place to win - I was fortunate to do that in 2005. If this team can do their homework, we are capable of getting a result out there."
As for the possibility of another Grand Slam, Jones added: "We can't get away from the fact that it could be on the cards and people are talking about it.
"When we are in this environment we want to secure the jersey for the next match, play well and make your friends and family proud.
"We are a bit closer than two weeks ago, but there is still a long way to go.
"I still think of ourselves as challengers, and until that trophy comes back to Cardiff, it is up for grabs.
"We have to make sure we work hard because we are becoming the team to beat.
"Everyone is targeting us and doing their homework on us and focusing on individuals within our team."
