New Year’s Eve in Paris: Splashy or Intimate?
Here’s a quote translated from the Club de Quatres Vents’ owner which is well worth repeating:
“New Year’s eve - there are those for and those against it. Some endure this night out, feeling obligated to ‘have a good time’.

The Moulin Rouge first became internationally famous for its wild, bawdy can-can girls who audaciously kicked up their heels - leaving little to the imagination.

January 1st, 2008 will mark the end of an era in Paris: the era of smoke-filled bars and cafes. Many tourists and residents will rejoice, but I have to admit that I’m happy to have visited some of my favorite haunts like Smoke on Rue Delambre in Montparnasse, and my new-found favorite,

Paris Restaurants Plus Music, Plus Happy Hour
Finding a Parisian restaurant that’s open on Mondays can be a challenge - finding one that’s good, reasonably priced and is offering an intro to its wine list - and at half price - well that sounds too good to be true, but I have to take the word of Pascal at www.restoaparis.com and his crew.
