French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed the Crown Prince of Japan Naruhito to a glittering reception at the Palace of Versailles on Wednesday (September 12).
Naruhito is on a week-long visit to France, likely to be his last foreign trip before he replaces his father Akihito as emperor after his abdication which is expected to take place in the spring.
The visit to the vast 17th century chateau once home to France's Sun King Louis XIV will include a traditional Japanese theatrical performance and a banquet.
The visit is officially organised to celebrate 160 years of Franco-Japanese diplomatic relations and a special light show will be held at the Eiffel Tower on Thursday in Naruhito's honour. - Copyright Holder: POOL (CAN SELL)
