Charles and Queen Camilla were greeted by Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne at Paris-Orly airport.
They were to attend a ceremony at the Arc de Triomphe in the presence of Macron and his wife, Brigitte.
The visit shows “the deep historical ties that unite our two countries. It is also an opportunity to showcase France’s cultural, artistic and gastronomic excellence,” the French presidency said.
At the Arc de Triomphe, both national anthems will be played before a review of French troops and a wreath laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to “mark the shared sacrifices of the past and an enduring legacy of cooperation,” according to Buckingham Palace.
