Antoine Griezmann scored two goals as France set up a Euro 2016 final against Portugal with victory in Marseille.
France opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time when Bastian Schweinsteiger was penalised for a handball in the box.
With 72 minutes gone, the Atletico Madrid striker sealed France’s victory, stabbing the ball home after Neuer had flapped at a Paul Pogba cross from the left.
He sealed victory 20 minutes from time when he prodded home from close range after Neuer spilled Paul Pogba’s cross.
France, who become the first host nation to reach the Euros final twice, now have the opportunity to win their first major tournament since Euro 2000 and evoke memories of the side Deschamps captained to World Cup glory in 1998.
France had the luxury of naming the same starting line up in consecutive Euros matches for the first time in the country’s history following their 5-2 quarter-final victory over Iceland, while Germany made three changes with Schweinsteiger, Emre Can and Julian Draxler replacing the suspended Mats Hummels and the injured duo of Sami Khedira and Mario Gomez.
