The meeting, in a customs area of the airport Charles de Gaulle, the French capital, in the evening, came after Cameron participated at a meeting of G7 leaders who issued a warning to the effect that Russia will face further sanctions if it does not stop meddling in the affairs of its southern neighbor, Ukraine.
It is envisaged that Putin will meet later today with French President François Hollande, before being present at the ceremony to mark the 70. Anniversary of D-Day in Normandy, on Friday.
On the same day, the Russian head of state will meet also with German Chancellor Angela Merkel before the ceremony.
There is no scheduled formal meeting with Barack Obama, but the U.S. President has indicated that it is likely that there is some exchange of views with his Russian counterpart.
"I have no doubt that I will see Mr. Putin. If we have chance to chat, you'll convey the same message I have conveyed throughout the crisis," Obama said in the G7 talks in Brussels.
