Saturday, December 31… This evening the countdown can finally start for a more or less normal New Year’s Eve! After 2 years of cancellations and restrictions, despite the Covid which continues to circulate, restaurants, clubs and bars will be able to open and offer you to celebrate the new year with glitter! Here is our New Year’s Eve 2023 guide to end the year in style, make good resolutions or simply party with friends. According to your desires, discover examples of events in Paris and throughout France.
Want to dance…
DJs, live music, dance parties, fancy dress parties… In Paris, for example, a large number of parties are open to you: Boom in the 90s and 2000s at the Globo, Masked ball at the Wagram Pavilion, “Alice in Wonderland” party at the Point Ephemeral… And why not a Latino evening or “Memphis 1970” in Lyon or “People” in Lille. Be careful, however, of the queues at the entrance to the clubs: you have to arrive early to be sure of entering the dancefloor before midnight! Also enjoy live music in certain places such as New Morning or Caveau de la Huchette in Paris. Unusual places like Disneyland Paris or the Paris Aquarium open their doors to you this Saturday 31.

Want a symphony…
Many concerts are organized in churches or concert halls. In Paris, the Saint-Sulpice, Saint-Eustache or even the Madeleine church offer classical and Opera repertoires, in Cannes the “Gospel for 100 Voices” concert offers a dance and song show not to be missed at the Festival Palace. More concert ideas.
Fancy a show or humor…
Cabaret, modern circus or musical comedy: the offer of shows for New Year’s Eve is always very wide. In Paris, cabarets (reopening of the Lido this year, Crazy Horse, Paradis Latin, Moulin Rouge, etc.) will fill up despite very high prices, while musicals (Stomp, Black Legends, Franglaises, etc.) and modern circuses (Le Roux, Phenix Slava’s SnowShow…) are more affordable alternatives. Theaters and one-man-shows are also very popular, such as successful plays (A delicate situation, A chalet in Gstaad, The producers, etc.) or big names in laughter and magic (Patrick Timsit, Kheiron, Fx Demaison, etc.) .

Craving for a cruise…
In Paris, Lyon, Nantes or Bordeaux, many evenings are offered on barges or boats and some invite themed cruises (Jazz, gourmet dinner, dance evenings, etc.). The magical and original experience always attracts many followers. The evenings of 31 on a barge
In Paris: music and fireworks on the Champs-Élysées
From 10 p.m. in Paris, helped by very mild weather (14 degrees expected), the most beautiful avenue in the world will be pedestrianized and a show will be offered to revelers who like big crowds. Countdown and fireworks will follow, this year on the theme of celebration and love… Timetables, TV broadcast and more info on New Year’s Eve on 31 sur les Champs.
