Over new years eve I decided to go to Paris with my girlfriend Christina who is a huge Berlin Allianz fan.

We went on the 30th and got home on the 2nd of January. During our stay we saw the Mona Lisa, went up to the top of the Eiffel Tower and saw all the other sights including the Champs Elysees. This movie is filmed from our balcony at the Hilton Paris hotel just a HE grenade lob from the Eiffel Tower in the heart of Paris.

We enjoyed a five course dinner at the Pacific Restaurant and after that we went up to our balcony to film the event. The tower is lit in a yellow halo and when the clock strikes midnight the entire tower starts to sparkle with thousands of lights.

Take a look at the new years video below:






It was a really awesome sight and I will never forget it. If you want a cool experience for new years eve I recommend going there. Me and Christina loved it and Paris is a truly cool city.
