Ligue 2 strugglers Sochaux fell behind early at home against Nantes through Guillaume Gillet's goal, but Moussa Sao struck with just three minutes left to force extra-time.
Sekou Cisse put Sochaux in front with Sao adding a vital third to seal Sochaux's semi-final spot and a famous win over their top-flight opponents, although Adryan scored in the closing minutes to make it a nervy finish at Stade Auguste Bonal.
Lorient beat 10-man Gazelec Ajaccio 3-0 to book their place in the last four, with Romain Philippoteaux scoring for a fourth successive home cup match to put the hosts ahead.
Maxime Barthelme hit Lorient's second before Roderic Filippi was dismissed for a second bookable offence just before half-time. Pape Paye hit his first Lorient goal in injury-time to round off a comfortable victory.
