The leaders were seen embracing and enjoying the Amazon rainforest, leading to humorous edits and comments online, including jests about them marrying in the Amazon with a honeymoon in Paris.

Amidst the lighthearted banter, the visit signifies a positive shift in Franco-Brazilian relations, contrasting sharply with Brazil's previous administration.

During the visit, Macron, aged 46, and 78-year-old Lula, underscored their nations' commitment to environmental preservation by announcing a significant investment plan for the Amazon.

The collaboration between France, the world's seventh-largest economy, and Brazil, the ninth, highlights their strategic roles in global politics, especially in balancing influences between major powers like China and the U.S. The visit, which concluded in Brasilia, also emphasizes Brazil's growing influence through its G20 presidency and participation in the BRICS+ group.
