New Years Eve on a Budget – Paris

Champs-Elysees

Paris is one of the most beautiful and special places in the world to celebrate New Years Eve. Even though some might disagree, regardless of whether you want to dance the night away or dine with a small group of girlfriends it can be done on a budget. Paris offers many affordable options for a fun New Years Eve night out with the girls.

No Cost New Years Eve in Paris

If you are looking for entertainment on a very tight budget consider something with no cover cost such as the celebration at Champs-Elysees. The location offers a fantastic view of the Eiffel Tower which is illuminated by thousands of twinkling lights at midnight. You can bring your own champagne and party favors and celebrate with thousands of Parisians. The fireworks are set off at midnight and light up the Paris sky.

If you are looking for a place that is less crowded and still offers a spectacular outdoor view consider the Sacre Coeur Cathedral plaza in Montmartre. On a clear night the view of the city is a sight to behold. Even though the crowds still gather in Monmarte the atmosphere is very calm and laid back. It is on top of a knoll and any fireworks in Paris can be seen from the location. There are bars and venues nearby for partying after midnight but the plaza caters to more mature crowd.
