Given the close relationship between Britain and France - playing a leadership role in European security and Ukraine, etc. - these plans may not be surprising.
But here are two important symbolic elements.
First, this will be Emmanuel Macron Eight years later, the first state visit to the UK and a clear political intention after a broader reset of Brexit under the Labor government.
Next week, we will likely see the first actual effect of the reset at the EU summit in London, but this visit will continue it further.
The increasingly turbulent and dangerous prospects from trade to security and defense have made it too expensive for European partners to think about their policies to the UK just by simply prisms of their decisions in 2016.
Second, Macron's visit will be conducted before the US President's second state-owned visit Donald Trumpexpected later this year.
This will be pointed out.
