Champs Elysées

As the most famous avenue in all of Paris, the famous Champs Elysées was already a must-see spot in the city. But on New Year's Eve, this particular area gets jam-packed with locals, tourists, party-goers, and the like. Every year, on December 31st, without fail, Champs Elysées hosts the biggest New Year's Eve party in all of Paris. There's great music, lots of food stalls, people chatting about, and more. And once the clock strikes twelve, the city's famous fireworks display goes off behind the Arc de Triomphe—it's quite the sight! Ultimately, you can say that welcoming the new year on the Champs Elysées is the quintessential Parisian way!

Eiffel Tower

The Arc de Triomphe isn't the only star of the show during New Year's Eve in Paris. Of course, the city's most famous monument, the Eiffel Tower, would also host its own end-of-the-year bash! You have two choices on how you want to celebrate New Year's Eve here. The first is to enjoy a luxurious dinner complete with a live quartet, champagne, and more at the famous summit of the tower. You can enjoy amazing views of the city while you dine. The second is to watch the tower's iconic fireworks display from the nearby areas, whether you're on Place du Trocadéro, Champ de Mars, and more.

Seine River

Up for a cruise to welcome the New Year? Well, all you have to do is to head on over to the Seine River. Every New Year's Eve, the city offers luxurious cruises, especially for couples, to help them end the year right. Bateaux-Mouches is the most famous of them all, even providing multi-course dinners and live music along the way. Le Capitaine Fracasse, on the other hand, brings about a more festive feel that's perfect for families and friends. Either way, once it's midnight, the views of the fireworks displays from here are second to none!

Le Marais

As one of the trendiest districts in Paris, Le Marais is a hotspot-filled area worth visiting even when it's not New Year's Eve. So what about the place that makes it a go-to place during this special holiday? The food, of course! Although all of Paris is known as a 'food capital,' there's no denying that Le Marais has more than its fair share of incredible restaurants, bistros, cafés, and the like. From traditional French cuisine to foreign menus with delectable Parisian twists, there's arguably no better place to have your New Year's Eve feast than in this neighborhood. The only downside, however, is that most of the hotspots here are pretty expensive.

La Sainte-Chapelle

Just because you're in Paris on New Year's Eve, it doesn't mean you have to join in on all the hectic fun. If you're one to celebrate the holiday in a more peaceful and even solemn way, you can always head on over to La Sainte-Chapelle. This beautiful church, which can almost rival the world-famous Notre Dame in its gothic glory, annually hosts holiday concerts around late December. From Christmas Day to Epiphany Day on January 6, a particularly important French holiday, expect this chapel to be brimming with heavenly music every night. Start the new year in peace and prayer in this amazing place of worship.

If you want a different type of show, you can always head on over to the world-famous Palais Garnier for an opera show. Yes, you read that right! Every December 31st, this iconic theater puts on operatic performances to help end the year on a beautiful and classic note. From love tragedies like 'La Traviata' and 'Madame Butterfly' to magical epics like 'The Magic Flute,' you can get your fix of centuries-old famous works that are still as beautiful as ever today. It's a particularly Parisian way to spend the holiday since the tradition of going to the theater has continued on since practically the Middle Ages.
