New Year's Eve Travel: Dinner and a Crowd in Paris

December 28, 2007 at 9:30 AM | 0 Comments

If you're looking for a romantic way to celebrate New Year's Eve then Paris has got to be the ticket. Join the crowds on the Champs-Elysees to enjoy the fireworks at midnight; the action on this famous avenue tends to get going around about 9 pm.

Before then you might want to try one of the restaurants recommended by Gridskipper this week, with the proviso that you usually need to book in advance. And don't expect a New Year's Eve meal to be cheap, either. The Hotel Ritz's restaurant l'Espadon, for example, has a meal costing €2,008 ($2,900), but there are better deals to be had, just get booking now!

And if an expensive meal and a crowded Champs-Elysees stroll isn't your thing, there are a number of boat companies who offer dinner cruises on the Seine at the not-that-unreasonable cost of around $200. With luck you'll still see the fireworks show, and you probably won't have any of the famous Paris pavement dog poo under foot.
