King Charles and Queen Camilla were photographed at the Élysée Palace as they said goodbye to Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron ahead of their departure for Bordeaux.
The royal couple are currently on a three-day state trip to France, during which they have completed a busy travel schedule that has so far seen Camilla compete against Brigitte Macron in table tennis and meet victims of domestic violence.
Charles, 74, was scheduled to visit six months ago, but riots and strikes forced his first state visit as monarch to be postponed at the last minute.
As Charles and Camilla, 76, posed for photos at the palace as they said goodbye to the French president and first lady, the quartet were all smiles.
Queen Camilla looked chic during the engagement, wearing a midi dress with a green and black animal print.

She combined the dress with simple accessories, black pumps with heels and a stylish black handbag.
The queen’s pale blonde hair was styled in her signature soft waves, and she opted for a simple, fresh makeup look, combining a fresh base and light eye look with a nude lip.
Meanwhile, her husband, the King, was just as dapper, opting for a two-piece suit, with a single-breasted blazer with a blue pinstripe.
The meeting capped a very busy few days for the royal family so far.
Among their obligations during the trip, Charles and Camilla attended a banquet dinner in Paris last night.
Today, Queen Camilla showed off her competitive side after challenging the French president’s wife to a game of table tennis.
Her Majesty picked up the paddle during a visit to a community center in Paris, where King Charles met sports stars including former Chelsea footballer Didier Drogba and French rugby player Demba Bamba.
This is the second day of the couple’s state visit to France, where the Rugby World Cup is taking place.

The king laughed as his wife practiced hitting the table tennis ball, before the queen bravely challenged Brigitte Macron to a game.
President Emmanuel Macron’s wife, 70, appeared to gain the upper hand over Camilla, 76, as they played for a few minutes in a good-natured match.
The Queen hit the ball into the net several times and joked with Mrs. Macron about the game.
King Charles chatted with Bamba and Welsh rugby player Dan Biggar, who said the royal visit had given France a boost.
Bamba said: ‘Everyone in France is enjoying the World Cup at the moment, so it’s great to have this visit now.’

Camilla and Mrs Macron then joined a group of children in an inflatable boxing ring, where the Queen hugged some of them before they all posed for a photo.
The Queen encouraged the children to ‘say cheese’, before cheekily adding ‘fromage’.
Charles later visited a Parisian coffee shop to speak with representatives from the organization Objectif Emploi, which helps vulnerable young people find work.
He greeted the Parisian well-wishers who had waited for him in the rain.
However, two people were led away by police officers after shouting as the king walked through the town square.
Charles then met Qatari businessman Nasser Al-Khelaifi, president of Paris Saint-Germain football club, who presented the king with a shirt with the text ‘Charles’ and the number three on the back.
PSG and France defender Presnel Kimpembe also spoke briefly with the king.
The Queen, meanwhile, heard the stories of victims of domestic violence who had been helped by La Maison Des Femmes, a social and medical unit linked to Saint-Denis hospital, designed as a one-stop shop for vulnerable women.

She and Mrs. Macron joined a dozen women in the town hall of Saint Denis and sat in a circle with them.
As they took their seats, Camilla looked around for Mrs Macron before saying: “Oh, there she is. You’re right behind me as usual.’
The unit’s founder, Dr. Ghada Hatem, introduced several women, each of whom told their story to the queen.
They spoke French, but an interpreter sat behind Camilla and quietly repeated their words in English.
The Queen was clearly impressed with the work being done and told Dr Hatem: ‘I think what you are doing here is perfect. We need to clone you.”
She noted that there were “never enough places” for women who needed help, but that it was “so important” that women continued to go there to have “these wonderful conversations.”
The quartet spent time together during the first drag days of the royal couple’s three-day state visit
The queen said to the women: ‘You have all been through hell, but now you have put your lives together and can move on.’
The first woman to speak told the queen that she wanted to be a nurse one day.
Camilla asked, “With all the experience she has had, would she go back into the system to help others?”
The response was positive and the queen replied: ‘Tres bien.’
After the second woman’s testimony, the Queen said: “I am very happy that she has had support from the whole team here.”
