New Year's Eve in Paris

My wife, our children (25 & 21) and I will be in Paris for New Year's Eve. This will be our first trip to Europe. Any recommendations for the evening of December 31, 2024?

Well the norm generally is choosing a restaurant for their Saint-Sylvestre menu and paying a ridiculously elevated price because it comes with a coup de champagne. Nous, we buy a plateau de fruits de mer (a seafood tower) and celebrate à la maison.

Depends on what you want to do really.

You could do what you normally like to do on New year's eve if you can find it in Paris.

For example, I rung in 2015 and 2016 in a live music jazz club in Paris; I did the same in 2017 in Orvieto, Italy, in Amsterdam in 2018, at a Flamenco show in Seville in 2019 and at a firework show in Collioure, France in 2020. Each time there was a count down 10 seconds to midnight in the local language.
