France, June 17 -- The G7 summit ends on Wednesday 17 June, but Macron and his American counterpart are not parting ways immediately. The two presidents are due to meet again at Versailles for a reception billed as lavish, in a setting loaded with history and symbolism.

The dinner has created controversy in France, where some are asking whether it is too generous a gift for Trump, who has not always been gentle with Europeans since his return to the White House.

The debate has drawn reaction from across the political spectrum, from fierce criticism on the left to more measured support from parties that see the event as part of the normal work of international diplomacy.
