Paris New Year's Eve Illuminations and Dinner Tour

For a New Year's Eve to remember, celebrate the arrival of 2012 in Paris!

It promises to be a truly memorable evening in Paris! Even better, you'll lock in plans for Paris New Year's Eve by booking early to avoid disappointment.

There's nothing quite like Paris at night- especially on New Year's Eve. Board your coach, sit back and watch Paris transform into the "City of Light" after dark. You'll learn about Paris's history through your on-board commentary as you tour the city's tree-lined boulevards with their animated cafes and brilliantly illuminated monuments and squares. The sights you'll see include the Eiffel Tower, Place de la Concorde Square, Avenue Champs-Elysees, Arc de Triomphe, Trocadero and Notre Dame Cathedral.

After your Paris illuminations evening tour, you’ll be dropped off at an exclusive Parisian restaurant – New Year’s Eve bookings fill up fast in Paris, but the illuminations tour ensures a spot at one of Paris’ local restaurants.
