On 8 April 1957, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh were greeted by French President René Coty at Paris-Orly Airport, as the pair began their State Visit to France. During her time in the French capital, the Queen laid a wreath at the Arc de Triomphe and visited the British Embassy.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla today begin their own State Visit to France. Following in the footsteps of Elizabeth II, the pair are expected to be welcomed by President Emmanuel Macron before taking part in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Arc de Triomphe.
