Renshall was European champion at Under 21 and Under 23 levelGreat Britain's Lucy Renshall took silver at the Paris Grand Slam after losing to Portugal's Barbara Timo in the -63kg final.
Renshall was competing for the first time since losing her opening-round eliminator against Japan's Miku Tashiro at the Tokyo Olympics in July.
The 25-year-old beat France's Manon Deketer with an armlock in the semi-final.
However, the final went to Golden Score and Timo landed a waza-ari for victory.
It is a fourth Grand Slam medal for Renshall, having won silver in Abu Dhabi (2017) and Ekaterinburg (2019) and her first gold in Antalya in April.
"Getting a medal at the Paris Grand Slam is amazing," said England's Renshall.
"It was a tough day, especially being the first one after the Olympics and having some time off, but I am happy to be back fighting and getting results and I'm looking forwards to the next one, to hopefully go one better."
