What to Expect in Paris This January 2024


New Year's Day (January 1)

If you thought New Year's Eve in Paris would be a bang, wait until New Year's Day. The French capital gets just as festive on January 1st as it does every December 31st. For one thing, it's still a holiday, which means people are free to go out, play, and have a good time. They fill up the fancy restaurants and enjoy feast after feast on the first day of the year. Families are going to parks for some much-needed bonding time. People are having friends over for a soiree. Even the Eiffel Tower sets up an annual New Year's Day concert for the entire city.

Epiphany Day (January 6)

Although the whole world celebrates Epiphany Day, it's a slightly different holiday in France. The French still mark January 6th as the day the Three Wise Men (or Kings) met the Baby Jesus in Bethlehem, but they've come up with a different tradition that's become a holiday in its own right: Galette des Rois. Translated as the “King's Cake” in English, this refers to a special cake that's also a game. On January 6th, Galette des Rois is prepared and sliced into different pieces for the whole family. Inside one of the slices is the “King,” a little trinket. If you got that special slice, you get to be the king for the day!
