Best Things to Do:
New Year's Eve 2010/2011 - Restaurant l'Arc
L'Arc is next to the Arc de Triomphe.
Despite the extremely touristy location, the restaurant is being considered good by food critics. At first, we might feel apprehensive about this postcard address, but pas de panique, the chef is serious and the dishes are well prepared.
In this case, why not spend New Year's Eve in these beautifully decorated rooms designed to highlight the illuminated Arc de Triomphe? The location is touristy, sure, but at the same time it is prestigious. The Champs Elysées and the Étoile square have contradictory characteristics. On one hand, elitist, expensive, and sophisticated areas. On the other, a region that attracts crowds of tourists from all over the world and young people from the Parisian suburbs. It's essential to navigate between fiercely banal addresses and the others.
At l'Arc, you are on the right side.
Before publishing the post, I called the restaurant. It will be open on December 31, the menu is not ready yet and they have no idea about prices.
Here's a suggestion. Later on, the prices will be published on the restaurant's website.
