Again merci for your information. Can't wait to be in Paris!

There are always restaurants open on New Year's Day and some small markets (the Ma and Pop type). The large groceries will be closed. People need to recover from the previous night!

Merci Karen. We will absorb the magic of the night with our digital cameras (and champagne flutes) in hand. Do you happen to know if any restaurants, epiceries, markets, etc. are open New Year's Day or is it a holiday for all? Just want to be prepared to make plans accordingly. Thanks again for your insight.

Deery: Whatever you do, don't book a table at a restaurant. You'll pay more for less and usually, it's a humongous rip-off. I always go to one of Paris's traiteurs (or Au Bon Marche) and pack a picnic filled with goodies plus a lot of champagne (for the adults). I go to concerts and walk the streets. At midnight, I end up with the gang (and a zillion other people) by the Trocadéro, Walking in Paris on New Year's Eve is magical - but dress for the occasion. It can and does get cold. If you can be on a barge at midnight - that's fun too. Yes, it's touristy. But, why not!

NAYAZ -I use an excellent group who handle anything from soup to nuts. I have worked with quite a few but am delighted by this company's service. If you would like to contact them: please send me an email @ kvfawcett@aol.com Gee, I hope this is correct protocol. Forgive me if it's not. Karen

Our family is celebrating the New Year in Paris. Any suggestions on things to do or places to go? It will be us with our son and daughter-in-law and daughter and boyfriend. We have all traveled to Paris before so are looking for experiences beyond the typical travel guide suggestions.

Could anybody recommend a reliable incoming tour operator in France who can handle all the ground arrangements like hotels, transfers, sightseeing etc? thanks!

Thanks, Carles, I should have known, I've been to BCN plenty of times!

Merci bien, Susan! That's a great piece, and certainly one to keep handy for my next trip to France...!

Jose here's a link to an article (in French) about staying in monasteries in France. There are a few suggestions. I agree it's a good way to go; I did it in Italy and found the experience very memorable.
