Happy New Year 2015!

The Paris Mayor’s Office brought in the new year with a spectacular display of “video-morphing” on the Arc-de-Triomphe. The spectacle lasted 20 minutes and ended with fireworks from the top. Wherever you were on December 31 (I was almost a month in northwest and central India), you can relive a slice of the moment virtually on their Daily Motion (French YouTube) channel.

Paris celebrates the arrival of 2015 with a spectacular show on the Champs-Élysées
A preview of the grand sound-and-light show marking the start of 2015, organized by the City of Paris and the Champs-Élysées Committee, with the particular support of the Centre des Monuments Nationaux.

Visit the Maire de Paris’ website for more virtual moments, with New Year 2015 page for photos along Champs Elysées and stills from the light show video (15 minutes). You will be awestruck by the masses that clogged the boulevard and the fun the mayor’s office had “morphing” the Arc. The Arc morphes into the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Pyramid, Centre Pompidou, Sacre Coeur, the metro lines and more.

I am busy with many other commitments like travel. I will do my best to continue to bring you many happy Paris moments in 2015!
