Prime Minister Tony Blair had talks with Nicolas Sarkozy Friday, in the French president-elect's first meeting with a foreign leader.
Blair arrived at Sarkozy's temporary offices on Paris's Left Bank shortly after 6:00 pm (1600 GMT) for talks expected to focus on Europe and climate change.
Sarkozy, 52, takes over from Jacques Chirac next Wednesday.
On Thursday Blair announced that he will step down as Britain's premier at the end of June.
Francois Fillon, who is expected to be named next week as Sarkozy's prime minister, also attended the talks along with the British ambassador to France, Peter Westmacott.
Earlier Blair paid what was described as a farewell visit to Chirac at the Elysee palace.
