Paris, France

Paris... A city that is never sleepy at any time of year, day or night, is full of lights during the New Year holidays, and the air is filled with the delicate aroma of roasted chestnuts. However, I must disappoint you right away and say that there will be no snow in Paris on New Year's. And rain is very likely. Large-scale New Year's celebrations do not take place here either. Since Christmas is considered the main holiday in all of Europe, in Paris they are used to celebrating the New Year quite modestly. The first usual way to celebrate the New Year is a procession along the Champs Elysees, champagne and fireworks under the Eiffel Tower. The second option is an evening spent in one of the many restaurants, cabarets or bars, where you can take part in the most diverse New Year's program. There are travel agencies that offer tours that allow you to pay for the opportunity to spend New Year's Eve at the Moulin Rouge, Lido and some other famous and expensive places. In less luxurious places, you can also book a place yourself online. Many people are mistaken in thinking that visiting Paris, especially during the New Year holidays, is only for the rich. Paris is a very large city with an incredible number of different hotels, restaurants and cafes for people of all income levels. If you are visiting Paris with children, you can take them to Disneyland Paris. During the New Year holidays, the queues for the rides are very short compared to the summer.
