New Year's Eve in Paris
 

Few destinations can compete with Paris as the most sought after place to spend New Year’s Eve. This year is especially sweet as the spectacular Grand Palais showcases over 200 of Claude Monet’s masterpieces for a special exhibition until the end of January. It has been three decades since so many of the famed artists work has been displayed.

Finding the perfect activities may be difficult in the City of Lights because of the overwhelming amount of things constantly available. France Cruises always aims to make traveling a pleasant experience, free from stress. Using the knowledge we have as experts and our many travels allow us to service you with custom-made itineraries for trips just like these; complete with places to stay, additional activities and personal advice.

Where to Go ~ What to Do

For a trip like this, we would suggest the following accommodations:

  • Victoria Palace - From the moment you walk in, only beauty, luxury and impeccable customer service surround you. The food, sleeping accommodations and ambiance is well worth every Euro spent!
  • Hotel de l'Abbaye - Here you can choose from the elegant class or deluxe rooms, or enjoy a junior suite or duplex. Every room has unique decor and personal atmosphere. 
  • Hotel le Notre Dame - This is the creation of fashion designer Christian Lacroix, boasts amazing decoration that you won't see anywhere else and the view of the Cathedral is like in a dream.

Besides the great restaurants within these hotels, you may venture outside for more good French cuisine:

  • Café de Flore (Brunch in style) - Located on Boulevard St Germain and an ideal place for Sunday brunch. All of the great writers and artists of the 20th century came to hang out here.
  • Les Deux Magots - Just a block over where all the tourists flock...Parisians prefer Café de Flore.
  • Entrecote - Also on St Germain and only serve salad, steak, and fries...BUT THEY ARE GOOD!)
  • Brasserie Lipp - across from Café de Flore with traditional French bistro food; has an older French crowd where you see older men with their mistresses and older women with their lovers...definitely worth a visit.
  • Dinner at Lasserre - *(gastronomic experience on the right bank)* The bill will be pricey but I guarantee a memorable experience with great food! (Space is limited!)

Besides Claude Monet’s exhibit, a Paris show is a must! To complete your stay, the Lido which is dinner and a show is worth your time; however, many of our Parisian friends find the Moulin Rouge more "typical" -- just not too crazy about the area.
This is only one example of the excursions available on your next trip to France. Whether you’re interested in a themed-cruise or just want to visit a specific region, the trip of a lifetime begins when you contact France Cruises.
