The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall will be the first Royal Family members to hold a major event during the coronavirus lockdown when they welcome the French president to the UK.
Charles and Camilla will meet Emmanuel Macron at their London home on 18 June.
They will mark the 80th anniversary of a famous speech by Charles de Gaulle.
Mr Macron will be exempt from a 14-day quarantine imposed on most people who travel to the UK, as a "representative of a foreign country on business".
A Clarence House spokeswoman said government guidelines on social distancing would be followed.
The royal couple will travel from Birkhall in Aberdeenshire, where they have been staying for almost three months, to Clarence House in London to attend the meeting.
Both had to self-isolate in March after Charles, 71, contracted coronavirus.
They have been carrying out royal engagements remotely - via video calls or recorded messages - and are said to be "pleased" to be welcoming Mr Macron to the country.
