Paris, the City of Light par excellence, forgoes traditional fireworks as well as concerts on the Champs-Elysée on New Year's Eve.

A drastic measure to contain the Covid epidemic, which in France is registering 58 thousand cases a day.

The Paris city hall is also ready to introduce "significant restrictions", always in view of New Year's Eve.

The squeeze was also urged by government experts, who, "in consideration of the acceleration of the epidemic and the risks associated with the festive activities at the end of the year", had precisely urged the authorities to "adopt significant restrictive measures, including, if case, limitation of collective activities or curfew ".
