The Champs-Élysées is the Paris avenue famous for New Year's Eve celebrations near the Arc de Triomphe.
The avenue runs through the west of Paris between the Place de la Concorde and the Place Charles de Gaulle, where the Arc de Triomphe stands. Its broad layout and monumental setting have made it a prominent gathering place for major civic and national events.
Paris New Year's programming can change from year to year, including light projections, fireworks, security arrangements, and crowd controls. The Champs-Élysées is therefore the named avenue, while the Arc de Triomphe is the landmark that provides the best-known visual focus.
