The Elysée Palace confirmed that the French president will host a lunch for Britain's new Prime Minister in Paris on Thursday, ahead of the G7 summit of world leaders in Biarritz.
The meeting will be the first between the two since Johnson took office on July 24th and will also mark the end of the holiday season for Macron, who has been at the French presidential holiday home in Brégançon on the French Riviera for the past few weeks.

Officials confirmed that Macron will meet Vladimir Putin at Brégançon before travelling back to Paris for lunch with the British leader.
He will then head to Biarritz where the G7 summit begins on Saturday.
“It is a question of raising the issue of Brexit, in compliance with the European principles agreed between the 27, but also the bilateral relationship and all international issues that involve our two countries and require close cooperation (such as G7, Iran, Syria…),” the Elysée spokesman said.
Johnson is also expected to travel to Berlin before the summit to meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and a meeting was expected “very soon” according to the German leader's office.
Macron shouldn’t believe a word this two faced backstabber says.
