2021 New Years French Vacation — Ringing in the New Year in France!

Soaking up the sun on the riviera. The excitement of the film festival in Cannes. Tasting mouth watering wines in Bordeaux. Strolling the ancient streets of the island chateau of Mont St Michel. And, of course, immersing yourself in the treasures of the Louvre.

Celebrating the New Year in France -obviously a great idea. But, at the moment — for reasons that are equally obvious, your perfect New Years French Vacation “marche pas.” (French for — “ain’t gonna happen.”)

And, even if you could get — at this writing — all the restaurants are closed! Quelle horror! France without gastronomy? Mon dieu! Pas possible.

Yes, you might luck out with a few sunny days in the south. But more likely wind,rain and winter storms. Bottom line: This French New Years is not the best weather wise.
