Mengin won the sprint in the Swiss city of Fribourg at the end of the 112-mile 16th stage from Morzine in the French Alps with Belgian Franck Vandenbroucke second and compatriot Richard Virenque, second overall, taking third.
Germany's Jan Ullrich, finishing in the same time of four hours, 30 minutes, 11 seconds, retained the overall leader's yellow jersey and his advantage of 6:22 over Virenque.
Defending champion Bjarne Riis had a bad day, dropping from fourth to seventh overall after struggling in the mountains and finishing 6:12 back.
The Dane is 18:07 behind overall and just over eight minutes behind third-placed Italian Marco Pantani in the chase for a spot on the podium Sunday in Paris. Spaniard Fernando Escartin and Abraham Olano and Francesco Casagrande of Italy have moved above Riis in the standings.
Mengin, third in the world amateur championship in 1994, said: ``This was a friends' victory by the whole Francaise des Jeux team.
``We were looking for a stage victory since we are not well placed overall as a team. I know I can go fast so I knew I had my chances,'' said Mengin, a former carpenter competing in the Tour for his second time.
Mengin dedicated his win to his infant daughter Tessie. ``She was two on the 16th of July and I wanted to give her a win then. Well, it was today instead.''
Ullrich brushed aside suggestions the Tour was over as a contest, saying: ``There are still five days to go. I'm glad things went so well in the mountains.
``Today was not my best day, my legs hurt a bit and I had a small throat problem, but very slight,'' said the 23-year-old German who spoke to reporters with a towel wrapped tightly round his neck.
The Tour returns to France Wednesday with the 136-mile 17th stage, including three middle-range climbs in the first half and a 50-mile downhill run to the finish at Colmar.
Bjarne Riis's bid for a place on the Tour de France podium faded Tuesday when he succumbed to the call of nature at the worst moment.
``He's lost his chance of the podium. He got off at the foot of the mountain to see to a natural need... It's at that point that the Mercatones started to ride,'' the Dane's Telekom team manager Walter Godefroot said, referring to a rival team.
Riis, the 1996 Tour champion, finished more than six minutes behind winner Christophe Mengin of France in the 112-mile 16th stage from Morzine.
Riis dramatically fell four places to seventh overall eight minutes behind third-placed Marco Pantani of the Mercatone Uno team after starting the day only 1:42 adrift of the Italian, whose second Alpine stage win Monday made him a strong contender for third place on the Paris podium Sunday.
Pantani's Mercatone Uno team staged their attack on Riis as the main group began the ascent of the 5,833-foot Col de la Croix halfway through the stage.
The Danish veteran fought hard to close the gap down but could not stay with the group that also included Riis's teammate Jan Ullrich, the yellow jersey holder.
Riis, who went directly to the Telekom team hotel after the finish, was unavailable for comment on a stage he will no doubt prefer to forget.
Sources close to the Telekom team said Godefroot found his riders somewhat lacking in concentration Monday night, talking of Paris as if the task was already done.
The defending champion has steadily had to set his sights lower as the Tour has progressed, having watched Ullrich snatch the yellow jersey in the Pyrenees last week.
Riis was set at least on sharing the podium with his German heir apparent like last year when Ullrich was second. By Monday it was down to a third-place battle with Pantani.
