Paris hosts the annual New Year's Eve fireworks and light projections at the Arc de Triomphe in France.
The Arc de Triomphe stands at the western end of the Champs-Élysées, one of Paris's best-known avenues. In recent years, Paris has projected a countdown and celebratory imagery onto the monument, followed by a midnight fireworks display. Event details, crowd controls, and programming can vary from year to year.
The monument itself was commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 after the Battle of Austerlitz and completed in 1836, long before modern New Year's projections became part of the city's festivities. Its large central arch and elevated position make it a powerful screen and focal point for public celebrations.
Paris's event should not be confused with celebrations at the Eiffel Tower, which may also be illuminated on New Year's Eve. The question identifies the Arc de Triomphe, whose location places the event on the Champs-Élysées rather than at the Champ de Mars.
