What is common in the foreign policy of Catherine II and Paul the First?

The foreign policy of the reign of Catherine 2 and the reign of Paul 1 practically did not differ. Their main enemy was progressive France. Nevertheless, at the very end of the reign of Paul 1, the state still intended to change its foreign policy, but this did not happen due to the death of the emperor. At the same time, in domestic politics, Catherine II tried in every possible way to limit free-thinking, and also acted against individuals. On the other hand, Paul 1 wanted to change the role of the estates and limit the power of the nobility.
