More than 1,000 Egyptians from across France and Europe gathered at the Les Invalides Palace on Wednesday to greet Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi.
The Egyptian president asked the presidential motorcade to stop and he got out of the car to greet the masses who were raising his pictures and 'Long Live Egypt' banners.
The Egyptian community surrounded the motorcade and the French security quickly asked them move away.
Many leading Egyptian community figures welcomed the president along with their children.
