President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Boris Johnson met for about 25 minutes on the margins of a G20 summit in Rome, aides said, a day after Mr Johnson complained to EU chief Ursula von der Leyen that French threats to trigger reprisals over the row were "completely unjustified".
They agreed to work on "practical and operational measures" to resolve the dispute in the coming days, Mr Macron's office said.
They were united on the need for a "de-escalation" with concrete action to come "as soon as possible", it said.
