Prime Minister Theresa May is to hold talks with French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday, Downing Street says, reports BBC News.
Mrs May has been invited to Mr Macron's holiday retreat in the south of France.
It comes as the UK government steps up its engagement with counterparts in the EU over Brexit.
Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt told the Evening Standard France and Germany had to "send a strong signal" to the European Commission on the need for a "pragmatic and sensible outcome".
And he warned that the likelihood of no deal being reached were "increasing by the day".
The UK is due to leave the EU on March 29th 2019, but the two sides have yet to agree on how their future relationship will work.
Key differences between the UK and the EU remain, more than a year after negotiations started.
Government ministers say they want to reach a deal with the EU covering issues like trade and border checks, but are also making contingency plans to prepare for leaving with no agreement in place.
Last week the EU's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, rejected a key part of Mrs May's proposals, which would involve the UK collecting customs duties on its behalf.
