My friend and I will be in Paris at New Years. We're both VERY familiar with the city, but we just want some good Ideas on what to do for the big night!?

What ever you do, I do NOT recommend being around the Eiffel Tower or the Champs that night. Been there, done that. I was there a few years ago and endured having lit firecrackers thrown at me (moronic attempts by young males to make women scream--I did not fulfill their childish desires) and a young British girl had her cell phone stolen as she was talking on it by a gang of thugs who knocked her father on his kiester. I learned later that there were riots on the Champs that night with molotov cocktails and bricks through shop windows. Oh, and the Eiffel Tower was a big bore at midnight. No organized fireworks or anything.

Thanks! We've both spent enough time in the city to have NO desire to be near the tourist-centric areas - no matter what day of the year it is. Where would we find the 20-somethings crowd?
