New Year in Paris. Going to Paris seems to be one of the best ideas to start the new year with. Still there are a couple of aspects that need to be taken into account. Most Parisians have an exstensive meal before going out on the streets to mark the countdown for the new year.This means that if you’d be planning on going to a restaurant, these will probably be full and you’ll have to make your reservation well in advance. Furthermore restaurants apply special New Years menus that are a lot more expensive than the normal prices. Although preparing a good/nice dish at your appartment in Paris also has its charm, I also think it’s a must to enjoy the delicious French cuisine in a good restaurant. So, if you’re planning on coming to Paris and want to eat out, bes sure to make your reservation well in advance.
Enough about food; let’s talk about partying. The most obvious place is the Champs-Elysées. Go there with a bottle of Champagne in your hands and do the countdown with Parisians and tourists. Here on the most famous boulevard in Paris you’ll find the most well dressed people ready to ´pop´ when the clock strikes midnight. At 12 o’clock the Eiffel Tower will shine with all its force for about 30 minutes.
For those who’d like to avoid the crowds on the Champs-Elysées, they can go to the Sacre Coeur. From there you’ll have a wonderful view of the Parisian skyline with all the pomp and circumstance of the colourful fireworks!
oh, and uh…don’t forget this little phrase: „Bonne Année!“
