Penalty misses from Kingsley Coman and Aurelien Tchouameni saw France defeated despite Lloris' best efforts in the French goal.
He will now continue in his club career with Tottenham where he has been since 2012.
The Frenchman has received some criticism this season at Spurs for high-profile mistakes against Newcastle in October and more recently against Aston Villa, with Tottenham losing both of those home games.
Spurs have been linked with Brentford's David Raya and Jordan Pickford of Everton as they consider future replacements for the long-serving keeper.
