Long recognised as one of the most romantic cities to celebrate New Year’s Eve in, Paris makes for the perfect party/cycling NYE break.

Choose between a fancy river cruise, an elaborate night at Moulin Rouge or pick your favourite vantage spot to enjoy the fireworks show around the Eiffel Tower. Paris has a NYE party option for every budget and is one of the best destinations for couples looking to see the New Year in just the two of them – surrounded by thousands of other couples with the same idea, of course.

For your New Year’s Day bike ride, cycle down the River Seine or pedal your way to the beautiful Palace of Versailles just outside the city. This 13 mile route is a favourite among local cyclists and it never fails to amaze people at how quickly they can leave the buzz of the city behind as they set off on two wheels to the picturesque town of Versailles.
