The people of Paris are to pay tribute to the Queen by naming a flower market in her honour.
She and the Duke of Edinburgh will tour the market that will henceforth be known as Marche aux Fleurs - Reine Elizabeth II on Saturday.
It is the third and final day of the Queen's state visit to France to mark the 70th anniversary of D-Day.
She joined other heads of state on Sword Beach to commemorate veterans and their fallen comrades on Friday.
The Queen, who visited the market on her first trip to the country in 1948, will unveil a plaque there before her ceremonial departure from France.
Sir Bradley Wiggins, the first Briton to win the Tour de France, will also be at the flower market close to Notre Dame Cathedral, in the centre of the city.
He is attending with a team of charity cyclists who are travelling from Brussels to London, via Paris, to raise money for Help for Heroes.
On Friday night, the Queen was guest of honour at an Elysee Palace banquet hosted by French President Francois Hollande.
She spoke of her pride in the courage of the Allied forces who took part in the D-Day landings, but added: "Our peace and prosperity can never be taken for granted and must constantly be tended, so that never again do we have cause to build monuments to our fallen youth."
Alternating between English and French, she also told the banquet that Britain and France each have a role to play as "two of the trustees of international peace and security".
In a speech described as warm and affectionate in tone, Mr Hollande said the Queen was a woman who personified the phrase: "Keep calm and carry on".
Mr Hollande described the two nations as being "like twins" and concluded: "I lift my glass to the great British people, ally and friend of the French people."
