New years fireworks

Does anyone know where the firworks will be held this year ?

Fireworks are everywhere in Paris but the best one is always at Trocadero place (close to Eiffel Tower )

Thank you ! .....I%26#39;m planning on dinner at 8pm in Ile Louis, and then leaving there just before midnight so we can walk to where we can watch the fireworks.

Would that be a pleasant short walk? or can you recommend somewhere else?

I think that there are not fireworks every single year!

Hello Krissy,

While New Years eve is great in Paris do be aware that it is jammed, in some areas, with partying people..........Some problems can occur with drinking and crowds.

Do try a search on this board for others experiences last year.

Well, it is not a short walk, you have to walk around 1 hour...but if you like to walk.

The second problem is perhaps a lot of people in the street with drunk people....

Paris is a safe city execpt on some special days :

- 31 december

- 21 june

- 14 july

You dont run for your life, of course but it is less safe than usual days.

Champs Elysees area on these 3 days, don%26#39;t go ....much better !! Everytime, you have some fights between policemen and gangs.

From the Ile St. Louis you can most likely view the fireworks at Pl. du Parvis at Notre Dame. Last NYE there were lots of people there and the street along the quai was closed to traffic.
