Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras is expected to repeat his plea for more time to implement reforms when he meets French President Francois Hollande.
The talks in Paris come a day after Mr Samaras asked for his country to be given "breathing space" during talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Mrs Merkel said she wanted Athens to remain in the eurozone but expected it to stick to the tough bailout terms.
The French leader is now likely to echo that message, correspondents say.
Mrs Merkel and Mr Hollande met on Thursday to discuss Greece and urged Athens to stick with the tough reforms.
On Greece, the two leaders seem to be on the same page, the BBC's Mark Lowen in Athens reports.
Troika reportIn Paris, Mr Samaras is expected to call for more time to reduce the deficit, given the worse-than-expected recession and months lost this year due to elections, our correspondent says.

He adds that the Greek government is under pressure to win a concession from Europe so as to placate this tired nation and lessen the likelihood of a destabilising period of social unrest.
After Friday's talks with Mrs Merkel in Berlin, Mr Samaras said: "Greece will stick to its commitments and fulfil its obligations. In fact, this is already happening.
"We're not asking for more money," he said, adding that Greece needed "time to breathe".
The International Monetary Fund (IMF), the European Central Bank (ECB) and the European Commission - the group of donor bodies known collectively as the "troika" - are examining whether Greece is making sufficient progress towards reforming its public finances.
Greece's continued access to the bailout packages depends on a favourable report from the trio, and an official report is due to be released next month.
Euro bailoutGreece is currently trying to finalise a package of 11.5bn euros ($14.4bn; £9.1bn) of spending cuts over the next two years.
It is also being asked to put in place economic and structural reforms, including changes to the labour market and a renewed privatisation drive.
The measures are needed to qualify for the next 33.5bn-euro instalment of its second 130bn-euro bailout.
Greece needs the funds to make repayments on its debt burden. A default could result in the country leaving the euro.
Mr Samaras is seeking an extension of up to two years for the necessary reforms, in order to provide Greece with the growth needed to improve its public finances.
