FIREWORKS 31 DECEMBER. But where to attend a pyrotechnic show worthy of the name for the New Year? In Paris, Bandol… The Internet user takes stock of the festivities.
The fireworks for New Year 2023 are not that numerous in the cities of France. To attend a pyrotechnic show worthy of the name, it’s in Paris that it happens. From 10 p.m. on December 31, 2022, a sound and light show will be broadcast on the legendary Arc de Triomphe, followed by fireworks!
What about other towns in the provinces? It will rather be on the side of small towns like Le Lavandou or bandol or in the ski resorts of the Alps that you will be treated to fireworks… We take stock in our file below.
Originating in China, fireworks have become a festive tradition all over the planet. If most places in the world still have to wait a few hours before counting down the twelve strokes of New Year’s Eve, some countries are already starting the festivities. This is the case of New Zealand, Samoa, Tonga and Christmas Islands which are the first to celebrate the new year, while France is barely getting up. Admired by 1.5 million people, Sydney’s fireworks light up the famous Harbor Bridge at 2 p.m. French time. Then place the fireworks in France and probably in many countries in Europe! The program in detail in the major cities of France below:
The traditional fireworks display takes place at the Arc de Triomphe where people gather on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées and the Place de l’Etoile on December 31, 2022 at 10 p.m. A sound and light show is projected on the monument for residents and tourists. A fireworks display marks the start of the next year at midnight sharp, after a countdown. The pyrotechnic show should also be broadcast live on French television.
For the moment, nothing is scheduled. Marseille’s last New Year’s Eve fireworks display dates back to 2013, when it was crowned “European Capital of Culture”. She offered the public a magnificent pyrotechnic show on the Old Port, in a symphony of sounds. Consult the program on the website of the town hall of Marseille.
Nothing is planned for 2022 because here too, the last New Year’s fireworks date back to 2012, when it was fired from the Auditorium of Lyon, following a classical music concert. More information on the Lyon tourist office website.
In Toulouse, the last New Year’s Eve fireworks display dates back to 2015, when the cabaret La Vénus organized a special New Year’s Eve review with an incredible indoor fireworks display. For the New Year’s Eve of December 31, 2022, the municipality of Toulouse has not announced anything.
If Lille is a dream setting to celebrate the New Year with its many shows, concerts and entertainment, on the side of the pyrotechnic show, nothing should be hoped for this year…
Usually, a fireworks display on December 31 is fired each year in Bandol, Quai d’honneur, on a given musical theme. More information on the website of the town hall of Bandol.
On December 31, fireworks are usually fired at Place Ernest Reyer in Le Lavandou from 7 p.m. More information on the Lavandou tourist office website.
Ordinarily, the New Year’s Eve fireworks are especially happening in the ski resorts of the Southern Alps, with fireworks set off in the early evening on the snow front in Serre-Chevalier, Praloup, La Joue du Loup, Orcières and many others…
