Welcome to the city of lovers. Situated on the river seine in north France, Paris has sustained its miraculous beauty, that affable feeling in the air and a love for everything glamorous. Today Paris is one of the world’s leading business and cultural centers, a trendsetter in world fashion and a torch bearer in the fields of art, music and media. Paris is regarded as world’s major global cities and its urban area is considered to be Europe’s biggest city economy. Paris has never failed to surprise people because it has something lovely in store for everyone who meets her. The city of lights has always been a homogeneous salad of various cultures, an amalgamation of sorts. Right from the air kisses to the beautiful architectural marvel of the city, it has camouflaged within itself a romantic story, a story of the city, which celebrates wine, champagne, love, Eiffel tower and its majestic history that stands so strong that France couldn’t be more proud of its finest creation –PARIS!
Bonne Annee! Come 31st December and the whole of Paris’s streets will be cheering and celebrating the New Years Eve, known in French as la Saint-Sylvestre. Paris is probably the most happening place of the world to be in to celebrate New Year. It is so because, as it is fondly called the cit of lights, it does not leave any stone unturned to make sure that the whole city lights up and looks like a bejeweled queen’s necklace. If you are the sorts who like to enjoy a cozy evening, with a glass of champagne, fondly remembering nostalgia then the best place to spend New Years Eve would be in Sacre Coeur Cathedral. You can head closer to the Eiffel Tower if you want to witness its celebratory light display up close, and if you want a less crowded locale to take it all in from, then the plaza at the Sacre Coeur Cathedral is the place to go. The atmosphere is a bit more laid back than at Champs-Elysees, and the views of the Paris Skyline is hard to beat.
The place with lots of music, glamour and naughty evenings will definitely be the Moulin rouge cabaret. This famous place has cabarets singers, dancers and more who’ve made it the outrageous and fancy party spot that it is today. This years’ New Year’s eve ball will center around the theme of ‘Feerie’ and will feature the lovely dancers that the club is known for plus a truly elegant dinner featuring veal, lobster and of course Champagne to ring in 2009. Tickets cost around $700 U.S. dollars for a truly memorable event.
If you are no more in the single category and a family place is what you are looking for , which will not only entertain you but also your kids then head straight to Disneyland Paris that will be open for families, children and adults up until 1 a.m. on New Year’s eve. The resort will host a fantastic fireworks display with special celebrations and parades for the entire family. The park has many different stay packages to choose from starting at just $450 dollars for a two night stay.
A romantic getaway for two on a cruise on the river seine will cost you $ 500. Other hotspots include Typical Parisian Brasserie for 150 €, Yachts de Paris for 549 €.
There is lot more to see, and much more to enjoy! Bonne annee!
