Ringing in the New Year in Paris is a truly unique, glittering experience. Whether you're looking for a chic night out or a huge street party, the Hôtel des Grands Voyageurs will help you plan your perfect Paris New Year’s Eve.

 

1. The Champs-Élysées Countdown

 

While there isn't a traditional midnight firework display at the Eiffel Tower, a spectacular light and video projection show is organized on the Arc de Triomphe on the Champs-Élysées. Hundreds of thousands of people gather here for the New Year's Eve countdown.

Our Recommendation: Arrive early to secure a good spot and wear extra warm clothing!

 

2. A Memorable Saint-Sylvestre Dinner

 

For a more intimate and gastronomic experience, opt for a Saint-Sylvestre dinner at one of Paris’s prestigious restaurants. Many offer special, festive, multi-course menus. Also consider a Seine River dinner cruise, which offers incredible views of the illuminated landmarks.

At Hôtel des Grands Voyageurs: Our restaurant offers an exceptional New Year's Eve menu (details available upon request at reception or on our website). An elegant way to celebrate midnight.

 

3. Parties and Clubs to Dance the Night Away

 

Paris is famous for its nightlife. Many clubs and venues organize special New Year's Eve parties with DJ sets and festive themes. If you prefer a more laid-back vibe, neighborhood bars often host lively events without exorbitant cover charges—a great way to celebrate the New Year in Paris like a local.

 

Start the Year Right: After celebrating, return to the calm and comfort of your room for a great start to January 1st. The Hôtel des Grands Voyageurs wishes you a wonderful New Year's Eve!
