Emmanuel Macron rolls out red carpet at Versailles for Vladimir Putin
Russian president Vladimir Putin has arrived in France for talks with newly-elected French president Emmanuel Macron.
Mr Macron greeted Mr Putin with a firm handshake on a red carpet leading into the Palace of Versailles before both men walked inside.
Mr Putin's trip is likely to shape Russia-France ties for years, with Mr Putin trying to mend strained ties with the West and with Mr Macron after the Russian leader backed Mr Macron's far-right rival Marine Le Pen.
Mr Putin and Mr Macron will hold a joint news conference after their talks.
