Are there Fireworks at the Eiffel Tower on New Years Eve?

NO

Trust me this is fully based on experience. After ending a 2 week backpacking trip in Europe we found ourselves in Paris waiting for the new year to start 5 years ago. After standing around for hours and waiting...huge disappointment....THERE ARE NO FIREWORKS AT THE EIFFEL TOWER ON NEW YEARS EVE.

The only exception is for the new millennium and when they were putting in a bid for the Olympics. I truly hope they change this because people expect fireworks.

I never thought to Google it before we left because I just assumed there would be fireworks. Recently a friend posted on Facebook about how she is excited to see the fireworks at the Eiffel Tower on New Years Eve in a few months and I tried to tell her there wouldn't be any just to warn her. Heck I wish I had been warned! She brushed me off saying I was wrong. So here is my warning for others. Not a reason not to go as Paris is one of my favorite places to visit just a cautionary note when planning your festivities.

Au Revoir!

Thanks for stopping by Petra School! We live on a lake and my son LOVES wakeboarding - so I had to come over and see your blog for sure. We have neighbors that have a son his age, so they go together. Fun!

That is awful, everyone should celebrate our Independence Day ;) I guess Bastille day is really popular over there, kinda like our version of 4th of July
