Visited the south of France for New years! 
I was lucky enough to have my favorite traveling companion with me for the holidays too.
Spent New Years in Bandol visiting friends, and got to explore Marseilles for a few hours waiting for the train. A nice bit of sunshine after a few weeks of rain in Paris. Also saw the Mediterranean for the first time!
Ate very well for new years eve dinner, including this whole fish cooked in a big pot.

Grande Halle De La Vilette  had a great installation by artist Ryoji Ikeda and William Forsythe. Ikeda's was an immersive installation of sound and light projected onto a platform. Watching people move through it was just as interesting as being in the middle of it. La Vilette in general is a nice park that holds a variety of events. A lot of good stuff to see here in general.
Notre-Dame de Paris The famed cathedral in the center of the city. I passed by it fairly often but never went inside until my parents came to visit. Even more beautiful from the inside!
Cimetière du Père Lachaise  A huge cemetery where you can see the graves of notable figures including Jim Morrison. I spent a pleasant afternoon exploring with friends. The trees and foliage make parts of the cemetery feel like an escape from the city.
