The US president then visited the tomb of Napoleon ahead of Friday's Bastille Day celebrations.
The two leaders are expected to discuss joint efforts to combat the so-called Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq.
The trip is aimed at reaffirming historic ties but comes amid tension following Mr Trump's recent withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement.
Air Force One touched down at Orly airport in Paris earlier on Thursday; Mr Trump and the First Lady emerging from their flight across the Atlantic in an effort to help strengthen US-France relations.
"Emmanuel, nice to see you. This is so beautiful," Mr Trump said as he was met by Mr Macron at the Hotel des Invalides, near the site of the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte, the former French military and political leader.
Despite their clear differences, Paris has emphasised that Mr Macron will work to reaffirm historic ties between the two allies to prevent the US from being isolated.
