As the countdown to 2024 begins, it’s time to don your most fabulous attire and paint the town red, white, and blue. Here are my picks for the top 5 parties that promise to make your New Year’s Eve in Paris a night to remember – I’m really struggling to pick between only five … why can’t I be cloned?!
Madame Arthur’s Christmas Extravaganza at Le Divan du Monde
Step into the world of extravagance and Pigalle impertinence at Madame Arthur’s NYE Party. Expect a Franglish (bilingual in French and English) spectacle, and a night of non-stop clubbing. Madame Arthur opens its doors to everyone, so get ready for a night where elegance meets cheekiness.
This will be an authentic French cabaret-style experience. I’ve been clubbing there for years now, it can only be a hit! Bear in mind that the music selection is very French, so if you’re not familiar with French tunes you might want to pick another party of this list.

Time: 8 p.m. – 6 a.m.
