R Markdown: change the title of the "References" section?

I am writing a report with R Markdown in which I include references. The problem is that R markdown automatically includes references at the end of the report (without calling them with \printbibliography for example) and the section title is "References". I am writing in French so I would like the title to be "Références", but more generally is there any way to modify the title of that section?

Below is reproducible example:

---
title:
author:
date: 
abstract: 

output: 
  pdf_document:
    template: NULL
    number_sections: true
    citation_package: biblatex
bibliography: references.bib
biblio-style: bwl-FU
---

# Partie 1

\cite{greenwood_financial_1989}

# Partie 2

bla bla

and here is the content of the references.bib file:

@article{greenwood_financial_1989,
  title = {Financial Development, Growth and the Distribution of Income},
  url = {https://www.nber.org/papers/w3189},
  number = {3189},
  journaltitle = {NBER Working Paper Series},
  date = {1989},
  author = {Greenwood, Jeremy and Jovanovic, Boyan}
}

Does anybody have a solution?

In my document, I used : 

header-includes:
  - \usepackage[french]{babel}

And your Contents section also changes.

Here's the solution that combines this answer on doing something similar with bibtex and this one on the TeX required to do it in biblatex, plus @Ralf's comment about adding lang: fr

I had a similar problem I wanted to place the bibliography above a supplemental section and placing <div id = "refs"></div> where you want the references successfully repositioned the section. I also had no problem renaming the section by simply changing the # title above that section. This did work for PDF output as well as HTML despite appearing to be an HTML only solution, though I was also using the markdown flavored ([@Smith2019]) references in the body of my document I don't know if using the LaTeX style will affect things.
