His schedule Friday is taking him to the Eastern Shore of Maryland to address House Democrats. Afterward, he heads to California to meet with King Abdullah II of Jordan.
Obama is scheduled to spend the rest of the weekend in California.
The state dinner for French President Francois Hollande is Tuesday night.
