President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron have had many public disagreements in the last year.

But perhaps things are changing after Macron hosted Trump for dinner at the gilded Palace of Versailles on Wednesday.

“I’m a fan of beautiful places,” Trump said.

The president told reporters that he was planning to depart after the G7 bilateral meeting at Evian, France, on June 16, but that he couldn’t turn down Macron’s offer to dine at Versailles.

“Versailles is not a gold leaf. Versailles is the real deal,” Trump said.

So on June 16, Trump changed his itinerary and delayed his trip back from France to the U.S. on June 17 by a few hours after the G7 meeting.

“The French president, who happens to be a very nice man, invited me to dinner at Versailles,” Trump said, answering a question from a reporter about what prompted the change of plans.

“All it means is that I get home later in the evening, meaning early in the morning, and I’m not a big sleeper anyway,” Trump added.

“The real estate businessman-turned-president, well known for his penchant for gold, has bathed the Oval Office in a sea of gold,” USA Today noted.

“Gold-colored appliqués on the fireplace, gilded mirrors and ornate Rococo-style 18th and 19th century dessert stands and flower vases from London and France sit on the mantle. The walls are chockablock with paintings of former presidents in heavily ornate gold frames,” USA Today added.
